A dashless switch (like '(' passed to 'git grep') cannot be negated, cannot be attached to an argument, and cannot have a long form. Currently parse-options runs the related sanity checks when the dashless option is used; better to always check them at the start of option parsing, so mistakes can be caught more quickly. The error message at the new call site is less specific about the nature of the error, for simplicity. On the other hand, it prints which switch was problematic.
