Description
Let's say I invoke a CLI with following arguments:
$ cli --docker-args "-p 5432:5432"
In Node.js trailing part of process.argv resolves to:
["--docker-args", "-p 5432:5432"]
Now when I put it to yargs-parser, result is not expected:
const yargsParser = require('yargs-parser');
console.log(yargsParser(["--docker-args", "-p 5432:5432"]));
// {
// 'docker-arg': true,
// dockerArg: true,
// p: ' 5432:5432'
// }
While expected result is:
{ "dockerArg": "-p 5432:5432" }

Research direction
Start by reproducing the yargsParser invocation and comparing its handling of the quoted docker arguments with the expected object in the issue. Done means the quoted value remains a single dockerArg value, with coverage for this argument shape.
