Yeah, that's kinda why I specifically pointed it out.  There are a number of command-line arguments which we should preserve if we can, but some (python -u, I think?) are lost to us entirely.  Warning disposition though, is especially important, given that users might be running subprocesses and we should report warnings in code that is covered that way too.
