Research direction
Investigate the current implementation of the ` file` option in the Trino CLI. Look for the argument parsing code, likely in the `trino cli` module, and determine how to accept multiple ` file` options and execute them sequentially. Refer to any existing patterns for repeated options in the codebase. The assignee may have already started work; check for any related branches or comments.
