ArgParse missing from Project.toml?

[zot]

julia --project=. juliac.jl --help produces this error:

julia --project=. juliac.jl --help
ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package ArgParse not found in current path:

If I activate the project and add ArgParse, it runs and I can also compile a file.

juliac.jl also runs if I add ArgParse to the default environment without adding ArgParse to Project.toml.

This seems to be on purpose: /~https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/blob/master/juliac.jl#L3.

Derp! Curious...
