support using a list of str as one command to pass command and args

[trim21]

Description

there are some case I have a command with many arguments and flags to be executed, for example:

tasks:
  rclone:
    - |
      rclone copy '...' '...' \
      --progress \
      --order-by=size,asc \
      --exclude='1/**' \
      --exclude='2/**' \
      --checkers=2 \
      --transfers=1

it would be much easier to use a list as a single command to do this:

tasks:
  rclone:
    - 
      - rclone 
      - copy 
      - '...' 
      - '...'
      - --progress 
      - --order-by-size,asc
      - --exclude='1/**'
      - --exclude='2/**'
      - --checkers=2
      - --transfers=1

or:

tasks:
  rclone:
    - executable: rclone 
      args:
        - copy 
        - '...' 
        - '...'
        - --progress 
        - --order-by-size,asc
        - --exclude='1/**'
        - --exclude='2/**'
        - --checkers=2
        - --transfers=1

in this case we only render str with go template but not shell syntex

@trim21 you can potentially do this:

version: '3'

tasks:
  rclone:
    vars:
      ARGS:
        -copy 
        - '...' 
        - '...'
        - --progress 
        - --order-by-size,asc
        - --exclude='1/**'
        - --exclude='2/**'
        - --checkers=2
        - --transfers=1
    cmds:
      - rclone {{ .ARGS | join " "}}

version: '3'

tasks:
rclone:
vars:
ARGS:
-copy
- '...'
- '...'
- --progress
- --order-by-size,asc
- --exclude='1/'
- --exclude='2/'
- --checkers=2
- --transfers=1
cmds:
- rclone {{ .ARGS | join " "}}

I find I can use one of yaml long string syntax:

tasks:
  rclone:
    - >-
      rclone copy '...' '...'
      --progress
      --order-by=size,asc
      --exclude='1/**'
      --exclude='2/**'
      --checkers=2
      --transfers=1

Hello!
As both of you said, you can do it easily with YAML syntax
