Comment (by NeilMitchell):

 Which behaviour is right depends on how you describe the feature - either
 "it's like setting the value getArgs returns" or "it's like running it
 from the command line". It currently operates like the first, but
 operating like the second would make it more useful. I don't think the
 question of whether the shell or GHC does the expansion is that important,
 the important thing is that when run from the shell the expansion happens.
