I'm not totally sure, but I think when an argument can be repeated, it
still only consumes one of the positional arguments if you don't
specify a flag. For instance, in "fs sa", the dir argument can be
repeated, but it is only taken that way if you specify -dir. (On the
other hand, you can repeat the acl arguments without specifying -acl,
but that might be specially handled.)
