I would say "[--whitespace=<option>]" or "[--whitespace=<action>]"
instead of introducing yet not agreed upon notation (this has the
advantage of shortening synopisis, which should be short IMHO).
The "{a|b|c}" is a used syntax. See cpio(1).
By this reasoning, "(a|b|c)" is also a used syntax. See git-branch(1).
