Well, no, it's not an undocumented option but a bug-for-bug compatibility shim. However as Warren pointed out, it's a bug having it in synopsis and usage. This is fixed in r259058. With our limited manpower, I think it's more important to improve our documentation in the direction that we describe our stuff better, like how to write a vt(4) driver, etc. rather than documenting the bug-for-bug features which would just give the reader an impression like "I can write program according to GNU command line standard and expect the BSD people to diligently implement bug-for-bug compatibility".
