I agree that if you make it a CMDMODE it does not introduce any bugs.
But it is semantically confusing. You would not make, say, --buffer a
CMDMODE option. It is a flag which only takes effect under certain
modes. And the same is true of --batch-all-objects, which modifies the
batch cmd modes.
In fact, it _would_ be a bug to make it a CMDMODE if --batch were
correctly marked as one (but it is not sufficient to reason the other
way; --batch without --batch-all-objects is still mutually exclusive
with -t, etc).
What really makes things confusing, IMHO, is the --textconv and --filter
options. They are marked as CMDMODEs, and they are indeed mutually
exclusive with -t, etc. But they also work with --batch, which is itself
a different mode.
So I don't think OPT_CMDMODE could ever present this complete set of
rules, because they are not all mutually exclusive with each other. But
I think calling "--batch-all-objects" a mode is just muddying the waters
even further.
