Ahh. OK, so if I said "meson -Ddocs=" to choose neither format,
that would essentially be the same as "do build the binaries but not
the docs"?
I guess that is from the very beginning 904339ed (Introduce support
for the Meson build system, 2024-12-06) that get_option('docs') is
part of the build system, so it *is* way too late to fix it now.

Meaning you'd allow one to be an alias for the other? I am not sure
if it is worth it for something small like this. Let's leave things
as they are.
Thanks.
