I think that Patrick was unsure about adding the external parentheses
to make it look like [(--format=(keyvalue|nul) | -z)]. CodingGuideLines
is not explicit about that specific case of having alternate flags
with nested alternate arguments, but I don't see a reason for using
parentheses as it isn't ambiguous...
