It is something that the user is passing in. I don't know of a
particular use-case but we can query all other arguments that each
process passed. One more integer seemed safe to me.

Nothing.

Well, it's better to have it than to introduce it with a different name
later. That was my main motivation. One could also use it in a library
context to query. But that's weak, I know.
We can back it out. We can also discuss it at a telecon.
