Yup, as long as that declarative thing (presumably it would hook
into parse-options that is already sort of declarative) allows some
command line options not overridable with configuration, I think it

I do not think anybody wants to see "reset --hard" and turn it into
"[reset] hard = yes" configuration, and we should not even allow for
that.
