The proposed fix is correct in my opinion, but there is a chance that user mistake could lead to missing of desired arguments.
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/22526 keeps the current behavior to error on ambiguous situation but allow user to explicitly express argument value with `=` or quote with multiple values as originally designed,
