What are "parameters"? The term doesn't show up in Documentation/kbuild.
There's TF_PARAM in zconf.gperf, but that's some odd category that
apparently only includes "on" and "if". zconf.l only has the
undocumented PARAM state.

[...], but '-' characters will now also generate a warning,
add a special rule for that case.
or something along those lines.
Should we elaborate here that currently "---help---" only is an alias
for "help" because we simply skip "---" when parsing Kconfig files? Or
is that trick so obscure that nobody else will care about it?

Could you add and use a small helper function for this warning and the
identical warning that was added in commit 2e0d737fc76f?
