This sub-discussion started because we were wondering whether to prefix
the options. I'm just pointing out that, even if there is a collision,
and it happened to work, it's as likely to be a feature as a bug.

I didn't look into the technical details to see what might be required
to allow that kind of collaboration, and I am not suggesting you
redesign the entire feature around that idea.
