Someone came up that it may be a use for PECL modules (or any
C extension) which relies on a certain API number. Maybe Stig
can see a use for it? Blame Derick who came up with the idea
(I think ? :-) *hides*.
Multiple version of any of those mentioned API numbers are
not possible per release (it's only a #define, nothing more).

Which standard ? :) Anyway, It's quite common to have
multiple occurences of the same option additionally enhance
the option, e.g. rpm:
$ rpm --help|grep verbose
-v - be a little more verbose
-vv - be incredibly verbose (for debugging)
