Consider the argument list

/a/b/c

On some systems, this is 3 arguments: "a", "b", and "c". '/' is used to 
introduce an argument.

On other systems, this is a single argument representing an absolute file path. 
'/' is the directory separator.

On yet other systems, this might be interpreted in a completely different way.
