> The logic here is that these flags should only be used by people looking at
code.  For example, if a pass has a hidden option that controls some knob, you
should only find out about it by reading the code.  We don't want people
surfing through all the hidden options to "see what is available".

  I see. Maybe we can tell people the existence of "-help-hidden" and
also remind them those options revealed by "-help-hidden" should be
carefully applied only if they have read the code.
