Thank you Julia for this helpful info. Looking at your description, I think the `add check to parse-options.c` (that Ævar suggested as the most ideal method for it) method is more simpler than this. Moreover,as this is only about checking usage-strings, so adding complexity to it will not be a good idea.

Thanks :)
