Why not cleanup the options for the commands and move all of the no-xxxx to
just xxxx? Anyone using no-xxxx would still just work by the existing code.

Interesting idea but the short and long options are a combination, and short
options don't work the same way e.g. -i and --no-inherit go together.


If inherit is on by default and -i / --inherit is the option then -i is a no-op and --no-inherit disables it. That's the same effect has having inherit on by default and an option to disable it called --no-inherit.
