Attached is a patch that adds a :main command to hugs. :main arguments is equivalent to arguments `withArgs` main, but easier to use because you don't need to import anything extra, and the arguments are parsed as if they were arguments - i.e. :main my test "of this", instead of ["my","test","of this"] `withArgs` main.
Well the Main module probably imports System.Environment anyway, but I guess this is harmless, and presumably this will be used by some WinHugs thing. The usual way to parse arguments to Hugs commands is readFilename(), which also allows backslashed quotes. Using this would aid consistency, but you'll need to work around the fact that it returns a string in static storage.
