An enhancement is likely to hit some corner-cases involving
list termination requiring choices that are not fully generic.
Any time a legal list value looks like a legal option. Perhaps
the most important case is single digit numeric options like
'-1', '-2'. These are legal short form options, and there are
programs that use them. They are also somewhat common numeric
values to include in command lines inputs.

My naive implementation would be that any dash would stop the
list of multiple values. If you want to have a value containing a
space or a dash, you enclose it with double quotes in the
terminal.
myapp --modelicalibs "fila-a.mo" "file-b.mo" --log-level info
But you are right there a corner cases to be considered.
Kind regards
