I do agree that [<option>...] would make things consistent between options and non-option arguments. But I also would expect that reasonably intelligent readers know that options are special, and they would understand that [options] and [<options>] mean the same thing as [<option>...] anyway, so I do not feel too strongly either way myself (meaning: I wouldn't be motivated to prepare patches for it myself, I wouldn't jump up and down saying they are wrong and revert them if such patches were applied by an interim maintainer while I am on vacation, and I would apply such patches myself only if they do not overly interfere with topics in flight while merging).
