Currently

  • min_values / max_values are across all occurrences
    • This prevents proper --flag [value] behavior with multiple occurrences
  • number_of_values is sort of per occurrence on average
  • it is confusing how these interact with multiple_values and takes_value

This is a major steps towards simplifying all of that (#2688) by creating number_of_values(range).

  • It is always per occurrence
  • Reduces the number of user-visible settings involved, reducing confusion on interactions
  • Displaying of args can more easily take all of the settings into account

Still remaining is to look into dropping multiple_values and takes_value in favor of this.
