        For example, assume the commands ``local`` and ``remote`` have been

        then on the remote host::

            runcommands local ls remote <host> ls

        ``argv`` was an option like ``--xyz`` that expects a value (i.e.,
        it's not a flag).

        To avoid ambiguity when an option value matches a command name, the
        value can be prepended with a colon to force it to be considered
        a value and not a command name.
