It might admit signatures of the form
  int main(std::vector<std::string> arg, std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string> env);
where std::string might be replaced by std::string_view, and std::unordered_map by std::map, easily implemented from
  int main(int argc, char *argv[], char* envp[]);

I am using it, but I found std::string_view not useful because of the lack of conversions to std::string.
