## special meaning in mate-python (unlike standard popt). Usually,
## when multiple values are passed for the same option in the command
## line, only the last value is returned to the caller. In contrast,
## if the programmer specifies [] as default value, then mate-python
## will collect all option values into a list and return this list as
## value to the caller.
