I can't see why invocation-name and invocation-directory exist as
functions. They just return copies of the associated variables.

The function invocation-directory is never used anywhere in Emacs.
For some reason, invocation-name the function is used more than the
variable, but I don't see why the variable cannot be used (with an
explicit copy-sequence where needed, eg x-initialize-window-system).
Removed tag(s) notabug. Request was from Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi <at> gnus.org> to control <at> debbugs.gnu.org. (Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:35:25 GMT) Full text and rfc822 format available.
