What is your suggestion?

It would be convenient for conan cache restore to accept multiple archive files to restore in a single execution.

Instead of having to do

conan cache restore my-archive-Release.tar.gz
conan cache restore my-archive-Debug.tar.gz

it would be nice to be able to just do

conan cache restore my-archive-Release.tar.gz my-archive-Debug.tar.gz

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

Thanks for your suggestion @mrjoel

I am not a great fan of multiple positional arguments of the same thing, this is why for example the conan graph build-order-merge contains multiple --file=file1 --file=file2 .. entries as arguments.

But forcing this now in conan cache restore would be breaking, in theory it is allowed, as it is still experimental, but I am not sure if it is worth breaking existing users for the value. So maybe in this case we can allow multiple positional arguments, lets consider it.

In any case, could you please elaborate? For CI cases, it sounds pointless, as it is automatic, it is the same to iterate over the command execution or over the arguments (and it can be beneficial to iterate over the command execution, as having better error diagnostics if something goes wrong). And for the developer UX, this sounds a very small UX gain too, isn't it?
