Comment:

 ͏    Maybe better to make unrecognized options warnings non-critical
 instead?

 ͏    But 1 practical issue:
 ͏    How to determine the option parameter acceptance, for those unknown?
 ͏    E.g. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/11582#comment:1
 ͏    .
 ͏    The option may consume further parameters or not.
 ͏    There seems to be no reliable way to perfectly predict.

 ͏    Unwieldy handling tends to introduce still error:
 ͏    But with less straight-forward (maybe cryptic) messages instead.
