How to access command line arguments with new Console App template in VS2022

Question

I wonder how one can access the command line arguments, given this is all that gets generated in the Program.cs file by the new template for Console Application in Visual Studio 2022:

// See https://aka.ms/new-console-template for more information
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

Moreover, there is no args variable in scope.

So how to access CLI arguments?

Apparently one needs to add some code to fireup the IntelliSense. I.e., if you try to access args as a first thing in your program you'll be supprised (like myself):
