Hmm. Of the 40 options of cc1plus, only 7 do not follow the convention
that the variable has the exact same spelling of the option (minus
-/_, and including those where the variable has the exact inverted
meaning). I think every one of those 7 is a mistake. Why should a
thing internal to the compiler be more descriptive than the equivalent
thing as exposed to the end user?
