multiple file arguments on the command line, and the file= parameter in [bumpversion]

[rbeyer]

I have file handling on my mind (#64) and I notice that there is a PendingDeprecationWarning on the ability to provide multiple files on the command line (and a similar warning on the undocumented files = parameter in the main [bumpversion] section of the config file--which accomplishes the same thing).

These PendingDeprecationWarnings are present in the upstream https://github.com/peritus/bumpversion. Why would that functionality be deprecated and is that still the plan?

I've read somewhere that the 'multiple files' functionality predates the .bumpversion.cfg config file support.

So the assumption seems to be that a proper configuration file makes things more flexible (especially given that you can set options differently per file) and covers all needs.

And I think it actually does cover all needs, save for the #64 functionality.

I guess it makes sense to fully deprecate this once we address #64.

#111 also covers some of the use cases.
