Currently, if a CommandSpec is constructed programmatically, each option and positional parameter by default has an ObjectBinding where the value(s) matched on the command line is/are stored.

These values should be reset to their initial value every time before new input is parsed.

Note that in most cases this is not a problem since the interpreter already keeps track of whether an option has previously been seen or not, and initializes a new Collection or Map the first time the option or positional parameter is encountered.

However, it is best to call option.setValue(option.initialValue()) for all options and positional parameters so there is consistent behaviour for all types, not just java.util classes.
