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.
