Support for variables of type=list? #35

Is this possible? From the docs it appears a list is expanded to multiple executions.

Sorry for the delayed response. I don't think this will work currently.

If I was going to implement it, my first thought would be to represent lists using [] brackets, e.g.:

astro plan --foo="[one, two, three], [four, five, six]"

That would add some complications around the filtering of allowed values.

Maybe another option would be to add a configuration flag saying to signal that it's a list, e.g.:

flags:
  foo:
    name: foo
    type: list

Which would then alter the behaviour of astro to interpret the CSV as-is.

Are you able to share a little bit more about your use-case?
