 I'd like to have a way to completely disable the +RTS flag so that a ghc-
 compiled binary does not eat it, but keeps it in `argv`/`getArgs` instead.

 This is needed whenever you try to make a program that's supposed to pass
 on all arguments, for example something like `ccache` or
 [https://github.com/fpco/pid1 pid1]. As you can imagine, swallowing +RTS
 argument's isn't great when you want to pass them on to a Haskell program.
