Most commands accept "--option=value". I know that it is different from "--option foo=bar", but it could reduce user mistakes if we also accept "--trailer foo=bar". And if we accept it, then whatever the user has configured in the "trailer.separators" option, "--trailer foo=bar" will always work and add the default separator. So it is a generic way to add "foo<separator> bar" to the trailers whatever the user want as a separator. But maybe I should reword the documentation to add this reason. (I did not do that in the v14 series I just sent.)
