It expects things like this:

##assembly=url

But now we have things like multiple contigs, alts, and samples. These specific examples should be parsed in the way that the INFO and FORMAT fields are, but in the meantime we should at least allow multiple values for a:

##KEY=
##KEY=

E.G.:
##ALT=
##ALT=

It might be nice if there is just one value for a key that we have the value, instead of a list of size 1.
