The `rasa x` cli [–data](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/user-guide/command-line-interface/#start-rasa-x) option says it is to be passed a “Path to the file or directory containing stories and Rasa NLU data.”

For my existing Rasa bots where I have hundreds of intents and stories, I organize my training data in separate files and folders based on the content of the bot and when I run the `rasa train` command I pass the following data option to pickup all of my training files: `--data /app/data/training /app/data/stories`.

Does the `rasa x --data` option allow me to pass two paths like the `train` command?

Looks like you can place as many directories and files under the default `data` directory and Rasa sorts what what is an NLU and Story training file.
