    Description

      The behaviour of option processing for multi-valued registry entries is partly undocumented, and inconsistent.

      --Option and ++Option are only documented in the context of a single invocation of procrun.

      The documentation should be updated to clarify that ++Option can be used in a separate invocation of procrun (update service) to append values to the registry.

      ==

      The documentation implies that --Option resets the value.
      This is only true if the ++Option is not used at the same time - if the ++Option is used anywhere on the command-line, then all the options are appended to any existing value in the registry.

      The behaviour of mixed --Option and ++Option should either be fixed so that --Option clears any existing settings, or the existing behaviour should be documented.
