Erm ... granted. The problem is, you give two examples immediately
followed by "In the first example ..." - and reader expects then "In the
second example ...". And the whole paragraph stresses the _options_ case
just casually mentioning _arguments_ (hence my confusion). So I suggest
adding something like "In the second example the argument (which one?)
won't be offered if option -foo is present"
