I wanted to call out a style question here. The "opt" parameter is
unused, since it manipulates the "max_candidates" global directly. I can
add an UNUSED annotation to satisfy -Wunused-parameter, but in such
cases I've usually been modifying them like:
int *value = opt->value;
...
*value = unset ? DEFAULT_CANDIDATES : 0;
so that the callback operates on the value passed in the options list.
But I see you converted that value to NULL here:

so at least the result does not have the subtle gotcha that existed in
other cases I changed. :)
So before I sent a patch (either to switch to using opt->value, or to
add an UNUSED annotation), I wanted to see what you (or others) thought
between the two. I.e., should we have a rule of "try not to operate on
global data via option callbacks" or is that just being too pedantic for
one-off callbacks like this?
