So, if I understand correctly: all of the options are listed somewhere, but we
no longer provide any information about which of the shared options under
"language related options" are supported by a given language's front end?
While this may have been intentional, I do not think it counts as a feature --
the listing of the "common" options without definitions at the top of the
option listing did not take up a significant amount of space, and it provided
very useful information that's now not absent.
(On the other hand, moving the _descriptions_ of the shared options to a single
listing is a good thing, IMO -- I want to make it clear that I'm not objecting
to the bulk of this change!)
