'symbol' ==  a command-line option name which is handled at scheme
level rather from within the C++ code.

Quite often they are boolean flags so they default to using #t or #f
(because they are handled using scheme).  In other cases, like
loglevel, they can use a whole set of string values.

Maybe this?
-d[option-name]=[value] or --define-default=[option-name]=[value]
