Options switching other options off is pretty common and needed a thing.

(Another reason I tend to want a short option for each --long-opt is the square
bracket grouping syntax only applies to short options. Works fine for a
--longopt that _has_ a corresponding short option, but I never came up with a
syntax to let you put a longopt in a group.)
