.SH BUGS
When a non-multivalued argument appears more than once on the command-line
then only the last value supplied is used. A problem occurs however in the
following scenario: suppose `\fB\-s\fP' is an option that takes an optional
string argument (and suppose `\fB\-x\fP' is some boolean flag). Now, if the
following command-line is issued:

.XS
command  \-s string  \-x  \-s
.XE

then, even though it may appear as if the value used will properly correspond
to the second instance of the `\fB\-s\fP' option, the value associated with
the option will be ``\fIstring\fP'' (because the first instance overwrote
the default and the second instance left the value untouched).
