Yes, me too.

Hmm, looks like overkill for this small script, especially since roundup
already has a mechanism for combining options with ';'. So something
like this is already allowed:

-S issue.issueprop1=value1;issueprop2=value2

Note the missing class on the second property (and you cannot combine
different classes in a single -S option). So I guess adding an
additional syntax there would only confuse people.
