Me ? I cannot even convince you or Vladimir :))
I understand that you propose a single interpretation mode
which shall be compatible with grub-mkrescue(.in) from
GRUB 2.00.
In the first thread about this topic, the wish was issued to
make the ISO producer behave like other GRUB tools.
Does any of them use ARGP_NO_ERRS ?
My proposal tries to keep old scripts runnable, while not
hampering the transition to the common interpretation style.
It also complains about now unsupported options of grub-mkrescue(.in),
wheras your poposal forwards them to xorriso. (If i get it right.)

At least it addresses my concerns about compatibility for
scripts.
If it gets implemented, then it should catch old options
-v
--version
--modules
--modules=
--override-directory
--override-directory=
My proposal for -vi and --version was:
{
printf ("%s %s %s\n", argv[0], PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION);
exit (0);
}
The others just issue an error message and exit, as i do not
know whether they would make sense in grub-mkrescue.c.
Have a nice day :)
