+It's used to implement `$*EXECUTABLE` in Perl 6, and is the name of the
+current "executable". So if you run `./perl6-m ....` then it'll be the
+`./perl6-m`. It's actually set at present by passing a `--execname=` argument
+to MoarVM, since `perl6` is actually a shell script. But when we do get to
+providing a fake executable for `perl6` instead, then it'd just initialize it
+to `argv[0]`.
