Not sure how serious this is considered, but I figured I'd raise it for
discussion just in case:
> if the value is a string, split it by space and return the resulting list
Does this not risk breaking backwards compat in cases where the current
value is a string containing arguments with spaces?
```java
// i.e.
-foo "hello world" => ["-foo", "\"hello", "world\""]
// or a more contrived example
-padding " " => ["-padding", "\"", "\""]
```
Perhaps there's an existing CLI parser better suited to handling the
conversion to `List<String>`?
