Research direction

Start with the env command and the referenced src/uu/env/locales/en-US.ftl entry. Investigate how -a is handled on Windows and whether argv[0] can be changed there; compare the expected behavior with the platform limitation. Done means the support status is established and the issue has a clearly defined implementation or documentation outcome.
