It is not an "example of silliness". It is simply not something covered in the standard, because different Pascal implementations need significantly different ways of getting command line information (and there are plenty of Pascal implementations for which "command line" doesn't even make sense). A language standard is never intended to cover everything about particular implementations, or cover everything that is needed for all coding in the language.
