Reasonable (and thanks for the clear example), but it doesn't work
if the package which is reconstructing the command line the package
which was the target of the original command line. In my case,
I'm making use of the cherrypy reloader, whose __package__ is
cherrypy.process. But the command which invoked the program was
python -m myapp.

ie I'm issuing "python -m myapp". In myapp.__main__ I'm importing
cherrypy, itself a package, and somewhere in cherrypy.whatever there is
code which attempts to reconstruct the command line.
