Auto-generating completion should not depend on the "option language
thingy" -- it should depend on the output formats of `tla help', and
the outputs of various commands when given the `-h' option.

So I encourage you to try parsing those outputs, and if there are
glitches, let's fix them.

-vv would violate the conventions for option syntax.  --vv would be
better, and --very-verbose would be better still.  (If it's needed at
all.)

-t
