Ah, then I misunderstood you, sorry.

Of course this is a bit of a red herring anyway... As the original commenter remarked already, command line flags may be stored globally (eg. as read-only fields), but won't - and shouldn't - be variables.

They're only given once, and their values aren't going to change throughout the program's running time. So they're essentially constants, which is fine.
