Some tools need to allow the repeated input of certain valueless parameters. One such example is the use of
vforverbose, where the addition of more v's increases the verbosity of the output. This behavior can be seen in tools such as curl and ssh.Prior to this change, when the
:multioption was passed in to a:flagor:booleanparameter, the parser would return either a atruevalue or an empty array depending on if the flag was passed in the command line or not. This is an unusual paradigm and provides no extra functionality over regular:flagparameters.After this change, the
:flagwith:multiset will instead count the number of times the flag was passed. Flag options without:multiset still exhibit the original behavior of simpletrue/falsevalues.Example config:
