Fair enough.  Nobody said the implementation is pretty.

If it is meant as a prototype only, and the final command-line syntax
would be with repeated keys, that's okay.  I think that Eduardo/Markus/I
are focusing on the user interface, you're focusing in the implementation.

In the meanwhile, however, it seems to me that Eduardo can use
QemuOptsVisitor---which can also hide the details and provide type safety.
