The args array is equivalent to what we get after shell quoting. `-eputs 'hi'` on the command line would be `["-eputs", "hi"]`.

```
(topaz)lantea:topaz jerith$ ./bin/topaz_untranslated.py -e"puts 'hi'"
hi
(topaz)lantea:topaz jerith$ ./bin/topaz_untranslated.py -eputs 'hi' 

(topaz)lantea:topaz jerith$ ./bin/topaz_untranslated.py "-eputs 'hi'"
hi
```
