[Boost-users] program_options config_file questions

   I'm trying to load a bunch of information out of a file, and I see  
that with boost::program_options 1.35.0, there's a way to pass a  
parameter to parse_config_file() to tell it to read in unknown  
"options".  I am doing this, but with a config file as such:

[tale]
name = bob
name = Jerry
value = 7

   I get back three options, each of which is a vector<> with only one  
value.  Is there a way to get program_options to return tale.name as a  
single option with two values in the vector?  I would assume so,  
otherwise it seems odd to have it implemented as a vector.  I'm sure I  
must've missed something somewhere to enable that behavior, but would  
appreciate any pointers.  Thanks.
