I _think_ so, but the result might be quite hard to read (the logic
would be scattered all over a bunch of tiny callbacks). But it might not
be too bad. Especially if you figure out which ones actually need the
time-of-parse logic and use more vanilla OPT_* for the others (that's
the rabbit hole I alluded to).
I think things like the "--exec-path" behavior that Patrick mentioned
would still work (I think it's just a stock OPTARG).
