This version is more interesting:
		  printf("<%s>", *argv++);

There are some gotchas using a shell script, e.g.
Examples that don't work as expected:
#!/bin/echo-args -f 
#!/bin/echo-args a b c d e
#!/very/long/path/to/the/locations/of/the/binary/program/echo-args

The first one has a space after the -f. '#!/bin/awk -f ' doesn't work.
The second one passes "a b c d e" as the first argument
The third one has a path too long for some versions of Unix.
