      It might be nice in terms of UX to allow using mongosh on Windows by just double clicking on the executable. mongosh could e.g. ask a prompt like `Enter connection string (default: mongodb://localhost/):` before proceeding in that case.

      The native Windows GetConsoleProcessList function would allow detecting this situation by checking whether there is only a single process attached to the current console.
