Description
In pip-tools I want to be able to store the args that pip-compile was called with in its output. However I want to normalize the output so that syntactic arg changes are ignored.
Effectively, I want to be able to serialize a Context object into a list of args, such that all equivalent Context objects generate the same list of arg strings.

Research direction
Start by examining Click's Context object and the linked pip-tools issue for the required argument normalization behavior. Define what it means for equivalent Context objects to produce identical serialized argument lists, then verify the behavior against representative syntactic variations.
