If the same function is used to act on a single candidate and to act on all
matching candidates, then you can get into trouble. The candidate action
function takes a candidate and does something with it. You are talking about
a function that takes a list of candidates and does something with that
list. That is not the same function.
I understand that's the case with your implementation.
I've envisioned another implementation in which multi-command
behavior works through a loop in call-interactively.
Thus, multi-argument input will be equivalent to
running the command over and over, with each argument.
Except for one thing: the command can tell that it is
being invoked for multi-command behavior. And it can do
something different if it wants to.
Do you see the idea now?
