I don't see what that has to do with making the option global vs per-subcommand, though. Just because the option is recognized in one place or another doesn't mean it has to have any other different behavior. > Instead, the approach of "you may override or specify any policy values > you like, and if applicable, they will be used for the operation" seems > nicer. And that can work even if you put the option flag after the subcommand. Am I missing something?
