Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] parse-options: no --[no-]no-...
Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2023 16:44:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <21b40894-1f1b-9e3e-8fe9-754ca9fe685c@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <e4d46d97-1cd4-7fea-afd1-7de5023b1b09@web.de>

Avoid showing an optional "no-" for options that already start with a
"no-" in the short help, as that double negation is confusing.  Document
the opposite variant on its own line with a generated help text instead,
unless it's defined and documented explicitly already.
