I was seeing what is likely to be in the -rc1 that will happen in next week, and noticed that this discussion is left unconcluded. I am tempted to declare that the latest iteration that shows the negation of "--no-foo" as "--[no-]no-foo" is "good enough" for now, and leave the above improvement as one potential future direction. Objections? Otherwise the 5-patch series will be in 'next'. Thanks.
