[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] %setup -T -a 0 -a 1 doesn't extract %{S:0} (#462)

[Jeff Johnson]

I should point out that multiple identical position sensitive option values end up as a stack of values even with getopt(3) parsing, and that the stack of option values could recreate the list of -a values to pass to %setup using the proposed syntax %{- at a: -a}, thereby fixing this issue.

However rpm maintainers do not wish to expose the fact that macro values are indeed stacks just in case there is a need to change macro expansions to support arrays in some TBD fashion.
