Yes, that's why I didn't include this fourth patch from the beginning. 
However, I understood your comment "Among the existing 13 that you
listed, I do not think there is any that tempts any existing user to ask
for negation with "--no-no-foo" form, so I think we should be Ok." to 
mean that nobody uses the double-no form of the existing negative 
options anyway, and therefore we should disallow it.

Please drop this extra patch if I misunderstood you, in order to keep 
backward compatibility.
