All I know is the flustered -O user won't be looking there, but instead
will be looking at the -O section of the man page.

So sure, mention something in OPTIONS/"Option Syntax",
but be sure to also mention something in the -O section.

Also do it on the wget2 man page.

As to what to mention in the -O section,
say something like "A second -O will not do what you think..."

Sounds good overall (waiting for a patch :-)).

Just one suggestion, on the last sentence. Mayne not assume what a user thinks, better communicate what the option does and what it not does (the latter only if relevant).

Regards, Tim
