It is natural to expect that an option defined with OPT_BOOLEAN() could be

to easily tell three cases apart:

 - The variable is explicitly negated with `--no-option`.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. OPT_BOOLEAN() increments the variable
every time `--option` is given, and resets it to zero when `--no-option`
is given.

Yes, please. I remember being bitten by this at one point. Your
transition plan makes sense to me.

Can OPT_UYN be folded into this, as well?
