## Notice that [] as default value (see --ddd example below) has a
## special meaning in gnome-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 gnome-python
## will collect all option values into a list and return this list as
## value to the caller.
