I notice that the framework creates a LOCAL wxCommandLineParser to
cope with command-line arguments in

bool wxAppConsoleBase::OnInit().

I think the Command Line Parser object should be a member of
wxAppConsoleBase because you may want to get things from it after the
call to OnInit(). It seems reasonable to me that it should always be
available.

The idea is that you extract any information from it in your overridden
OnCmdLineParsed(). It doesn't seem useful to keep the object which is only
used during program startup during the entire program execution.
