Interesting.  The first two are definitely invalid, but the third is a
case where if -o had an implicit first key name, then ',' would be the
value of that key for the second -o.

Maybe the trick in your patch 1 is to add a bool parameter to
is_valid_option_list() that states whether the option accepts an
implicit first key name: no key name starts with a comma, and leading
comma is valid only if you can have an implicit key name.  In this case,
-o does not have an implicit first key name, so your test proves that
you were right to reject the comma for our current usage.

But again, until we actually have a client of is_valid_option_list that
also cares about implicit first key name, this patch is fine as-is.
