Multiple default values are not supported it seems. If you for instance
specify
option "weights" w "some text" typestr="FLOAT,FLOAT" float
default="2.0,2.0" optional multiple(2)
I get "invalid default value".
I would be nice if that could be supported. If not I would suggest
adding some more documentation, for instance like
the attached patch.
cheers,
Erik Sjölund
