Why is this vendored instead of being imported?

Is it actually possible for os.Args to be nil? It can technically be nil because it's a byte slice, but the docs are fairly definitive: Args hold the command-line arguments, starting with the program name. This doesn't hurt anything, though.

It looks like it is possible, but I don't think it can ever happen in practice.
