Hello,

So fast that I'm afraid I'm still sleeping :)

Thank you!

That is not exactly what I mean. Under "expected behaviour" I mean the
inability to achieve the desired result by just placing "--add-file" (without
quotes) on a first line and "-b b" (without quotes) on the following line as
if each line is considered as exactly a single command line argument
(and no word split is performed).

However I tested your solution and it works great for me.
