When I use "-Da=1 -Db=2" the method getOptionValues returns an array of [a, 1, b, 2]. Obviously I need to then treat them as pairs. But what if the command line was used to flag that an option exists but has no value. Then "-Da -Db=2" returns [a, b, 2] I can no longer treat them as pairs. The user can solve this by entering "-Da= -Db=2" which returns [a, ,b, 2] but I wondered if it would be better to return a hashmap of names with a list of values for that name. There would no longer be any ambiguity for the developer.
