[PATCH] parse-options: add parse_options_check to validate option specs.

From
Pierre Habouzit <madcoder@debian.org>
Date

In-Reply-To
<7vd49ewfsi.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>

It only searches for now for the dreaded LASTARG_DEFAULT | OPTARG combination, but can be extended to check for any other forbidden combination.

Options are checked each time we call parse_options_start.
