In version 0.10 the upper first is seen, in version 0.11 the second one. I find the first one more useful and intuitive. From a quick look here, I could not find out why this was changed.
The old behaviour parses multiple args as individual arguments passed to the program, while the new behaviour passes it as a single long space-separated argument.

It shouldn't have changed, so I'll fix this later.
