Oh, that's right.

I was actually planning on implementing something like that, but 
behaving differently - more like "foo -m arg1 -m arg2 -m arg3" to 
generate an array of size three.

I'd prefer to discuss which approach is better (or if supporting both is 
reasonable) first.

Why don't you upload a patch for now?

Given that JArgP is in use 'in the wild,' I think that changing the 
behavior would be a very bad thing.
