Description
**Describe the bug**
When using the function "MapResult" to parse multiple verbs, the parser ignores the setting "AllowMultiInstance" while parsing the default verb.
Lib version: 2.9.1
Language: C#
**To Reproduce**
Test the following demo code to see the result.
Demo Class Options:
```
[Verb("log", isDefault:true, HelpText = "Log command")]
class LogOptions
{
[Option('a', HelpText = "Option A for log command")]
public IEnumerable OptionA { get; set; }
[Option('b', HelpText = "Option B for log command")]
public IEnumerable OptionB { get; set; }
}
[Verb("save", HelpText = "Save command")]
class SaveOptions
{
[Option('d', HelpText = "Option D for save command")]
public IEnumerable OptionD { get; set; }
[Option('e', HelpText = "Option E for save command")]
public IEnumerable OptionE { get; set; }
}
```
Demo code:
```
Parser parser = new(x =>
{
x.HelpWriter = Console.Out;
x.IgnoreUnknownArguments = true;
x.AllowMultiInstance = true;
x.AutoHelp = true;
});
var argTest1 = "log -a valueA -b valueB" .Split(' '); // This works.
var argTest2 = "save -d valueD -e valueE".Split(' '); // This works.
var argTest3 = "-a valueA -b valueB".Split(' '); // This works.
var argTest4 = "log -a valueA -b valueB -b valueB2".Split(' '); // This works.
var argTest5 = " -a valueA -b valueB -b valueB2".Split(' '); // This don't work.
var res = parser.ParseArguments(argTest5).MapResult(
(LogOptions opts) => ProcessLogCommand(opts),
(SaveOptions opts) => ProcessSaveCommand(opts),
errs => 1);
}
```
When trying to parse argTest5 this error is shown:
```
ERROR(S):
Option 'b' is defined multiple times.
-a Option A for log command
-b Option B for log command
--help Display this help screen.
--version Display version information.
```
**Expected behavior**
Option "SaveOptions" correctly parsed with multiple arguments for argument b.
