-----Original Message----- Edward Diener Why not have the parameter as:

instead of trying to create more than one parameter with the same parameter name.
Personally because of the type of solution I suggested, which is probably the way most uses of such a multi-value value parameter would look like, with possibly a different separator than a comma, I do not think a parameter library should have to cater to the same parameter name more than once on the command line.
What about parameters like -I for gcc? Utilities can add -I's to the command line. It would be an added headache to synchronize all these tools to eventually come up with a -I arg1,arg2,...
You are right about that. I think, then, you have to take this up with the creator of the program_options library.
