Same here.

I think it would be nice if help output made clear that the form without
argument is also still supported. It further looks as if the verbal part
may want a little bit of an adjustment, albeit I notice that the text for
e.g. --elf-stt-common or --generate-missing-build-notes is similarly
worded only the "positive" way. Personally I'd add e.g. "whether to".
