Can Kong build a map from a flag?

[shueybubbles]

eg:
myapp -v key1=val1 -v key2="val with a space"

Currently I'm using a slice with a custom UnmarshalText

...
Variables                   []variableInput `short:"v"`
...

type variableInput struct {
	name  string
	value string
}

// UnmarshalText converts x=y string into the name and value
func (v *variableInput) UnmarshalText(text []byte) error {

It'd be nice to reuse the existing map building code in Kong

Yep. It should work exactly as you describe...

Sigh. Silly me for not trying it first :-) thx, works like a champ.
