Done Switches for other than only the 1st argument

Some commands allow multiple arguments, one example is setarray:

SETARRAY [/F /T:type /R filename arrayname] name[a[,b[,c[,d]]]] [...]

Obviously, the switches like /f are only meant to work on the first arrayname, the others are not tainted by it - resulting in a behavior like this:

[C:\]*setarray x[2] y[2] z[2]
[C:\]*setarray /f x[3] y[3] z[3]
TCC: Array variable is already defined "y"
TCC: Array variable is already defined "z"
[C:\]


It would be nice to allow for multiple switches to prefix indivdual arguments, or to have the switches affect all arguments - which would result in this (probab more intuitive, ymmv) behavior:

[C:\]*setarray x[2] y[2] z[2]
[C:\]*setarray /f x[3] y[3] z[3]
[C:\]


... or (multiple switches variant) ...

[C:\]*setarray x[2] y[2] z[2]
[C:\]*setarray /f x[3] /f y[3] z[3]
TCC: Array variable is already defined "z"
[C:\]


Thanks for taking it into consideration, having multple set, unset and so on saves a lot of visual space in the btm file and might even be faster(?).
