Hrm...well, I don't recall changing _parse_args much, this is what it
looks like in my execution branch right now:

def _parse_args(args):
    cmds = []
    for cmd in args:
        cmd_args = {}
        if ':' in cmd:
            cmd, cmd_str_args = cmd.split(':', 1)
            for cmd_arg_kv in cmd_str_args.split(','):
                k, _, v = partition(cmd_arg_kv, '=')
                cmd_args[k] = (v % ENV)
        cmds.append((cmd, cmd_args))
    return cmds

And it's then used in the actual command execution like so:

            command(**(args or {}))

Unless I'm reading that wrong, a call to Fabric like this:

    fab command:key1=val1,key2=val2

would result in:

   command(key1=val1, key2=val2)

And thus command, if defined as "def command(**kwargs):", could do
kwargs.keys() or kwargs.values().

Or am I getting it wrong somewhere? :)
