At the expense of reworking how help is output, especially in the line
above, we also can have the nice feature that you can chain
parse_options_step with different options structure basically this way
(error handling removed):
if (parse_options_step(&ctx, options1) == PARSE_OPT_UNKNOWN &&
parse_options_step(&ctx, options2) == PARSE_OPT_UNKNOWN &&
...
parse_options_step(&ctx, options_n) == PARSE_OPT_UNKNOWN)
{
/* you're on ! */
}
But with the proposed series, it's not possible (well in the sense
that for valid command lines it will work, but you'll end up with funny
usage dumps for invalid ones).
