+ * - Repeated flags become arrays

+ * Intentional differences from mri:

+ * - `--flag= next` returns `{flag: '', _: ['next']}` (mri takes `next` as the value)
+ * - `---flag` returns `{'-flag': true}` (mri strips all dashes)
+ * - `['--flag', '']` preserves `''` (mri coerces to `0`)
+ * - `--__proto__` works as a normal key (mri silently fails)
+ *
+ * The returned object uses `Object.create(null)` to prevent prototype pollution
+ * and allow any key name including `__proto__` and `constructor`.

+ * - `--flag=value` → equals syntax
+ * - `--flag=` → `{flag: ''}` (empty string, differs from mri which returns true)

+ * - `-f value` → `{f: 'value'}`

+ * - Repeated flags become arrays

+ * - `---flag` returns `{'-flag': true}` (mri strips all dashes)
+ * - `['--flag', '']` preserves `''` (mri coerces to `0`)
+ * - `--__proto__` works as a normal key (mri silently fails)
+ *
+ * The returned object uses `Object.create(null)` to prevent prototype pollution
+ * and allow any key name including `__proto__` and `constructor`.
