 * RTE Argument parsing
 *
 * This module can be used to parse arguments whose format is
 * key1=value1,key2=value2,key3=value3,...
 *
 * The same key can appear several times with the same or a different
 * value. Indeed, the arguments are stored as a list of key/values
 * associations and not as a dictionary.
 *
 * This file provides some helpers that are especially used by virtual
