Because from the user's perspective --foo={bar,baz,bleep} is about

I do not feel very strongly about this either way, and without any prior
end user "Huh?" input, I would probably have argued like you myself, but
I saw the original message from Miles about giving more than one --date
and getting perplexed to see that it did not work, so...

Interesting. I saw the original message from Miles as "I tried to use
more than one --date, but that seems wrong to me because these concepts
are orthogonal".  But I do recognize that it is somewhat a matter of
perception and style.

Anyway, as our one user in this thread, he has said the separate option
is more clear. So I think we should go with that.
