//
// This field is repeated for repeatable flags. It is an error to set
// multiple values for a flag that is not actually a repeatable flag.
// This requires at least 1 value, if even the empty string.
//
// If the flag allows multiple values, all of its values are replaced with the
// value or values from the policy (i.e., no diffing or merging is performed),
// unless the append field (see below) is set to true.
//
// Note that some flags are tricky. For example, some flags look like boolean
// flags, but are actually Void expansion flags that expand into other flags.
// The Bazel flag parser will accept "--void_flag=false", but because
// the flag is Void, the "=false" is ignored. It can get even trickier, like
// "--novoid_flag" which is also an expansion flag with the type Void whose
// name is explicitly "novoid_flag" and which expands into other flags that
// are the opposite of "--void_flag". For expansion flags, it's best to
// explicitly override the flags they expand into.
//
// Other flags may be differently tricky: A flag could have a converter that
// converts some string to a list of values, but that flag may not itself have
// allowMultiple set to true.
//
// An example is "--test_tag_filters": this flag sets its converter to
// CommaSeparatedOptionListConverter, but does not set allowMultiple to true.
// So "--test_tag_filters=foo,bar" results in ["foo", "bar"], however
// "--test_tag_filters=foo --test_tag_filters=bar" results in just ["bar"]
// since the 2nd value overrides the 1st.
//
// Similarly, "--test_tag_filters=foo,bar --test_tag_filters=baz,qux" results
// in ["baz", "qux"]. For flags like these, the policy should specify
// "foo,bar" instead of separately specifying "foo" and "bar" so that the
// converter is appropriately invoked.
//
// Note that the opposite is not necessarily
// true: for a flag that specifies allowMultiple=true, "--flag=foo,bar"
// may fail to parse or result in an unexpected value.

// returns the default. This is mostly relevant for expansion flags: it will
// erase user values in *all* flags that the expansion flag expands to. Only
// use this on expansion flags if this is acceptable behavior. Since the last
// policy wins, later policies on this same flag will still remove the
// expanded UseDefault, so there is a way around, but it's really best not to
