I couldn't tell if option was a lower case l (ell) or an upper case I (eye). Turns out it is an upper case i. Perhaps the upper case I (eye) and lower case l (ell) are poor choices for options... can't tell them apart on many systems.
Now I can test hal snippets... If I can be of any help on updating the documentation just let me know what do do...
