Instrumentation code might need to find out the entry point of the
process in a global context.

+## process.mainModule
+
+Alternate way to retrieve
+[`require.main`](modules.html#modules_accessing_the_main_module).
+The difference is that if the main module changes at runtime, `require.main`
+might still refer to the original main module in modules that were required
+before the change occurred. Generally it's safe to assume that the two refer
+to the same module.
+
+As with `require.main`, it will be `undefined` if there was no entry script.
