Personally, right this minute, I have no immediate use for it, however in the past I would have like to have been able to do it this way. I've seen numerous other posts asking for a way to do it, and even vbscript supports it. I guess I look at the way Kixtart does arguments as limiting, and with the addition of the getcommandline function, now it just seems like an easy fix to allow that flexablity.
