True, but I think we can practically ignore non-tested cases.

The parse_options_check() is used to validate the whole options[]
array that is passed to parse_options() family of API functions, and
its validation is not limited to the options that are given from the
command line in an invocation.  A non-tested case would happen when
a developer prepares and populates "struct option options[];" array
for a (possibly new) git subcommand *and* never uses that array to
call parse_options() in their implementation of that subcommand.
The compiler would catch the unused variable options[] in such a
case, and mark 1 eyeball would notice that none of the options
defined in that array are actually understood by the command, no?
