this doesn't use args array, so this doesn't fall into the DEP0190 case

You're right! I hadn't noticed that.
In that case I agree this may be rejected. Still, depending on the intention of DEP0190, I think it could make some sense to remove this example. Hence, I'll leave it up to the maintainers to close or merge this depending on their opinion. (Notwithstanding your earlier comment about the stdio option.)
