Yeah, I agree this would be the right way to go.

I do rather prefer this approach over the multiple key-value pairs. I
think the use case of scripts could probably be easily solved with an
additional environment variable like so:
args="--config-env abc.def=GHI --config-env jkl.mno=PQR"
This isn't necessarily super elegant, but I like it more than needing
to handle many key-value pairs.
But while I do have a moderately strong preference, I'm not going to
argue for blocking the series if you still want to go this way.
