Looks good!

No, it should be enabled by default. It's an Easter Egg. By definition
Easter Eggs aren't any good if they are disabled.

I think it should be sorted by long option name, which will make it
easier to search for missing options.  The "parsedebug" option can remain
last, since it's disabled by default, or you can include it in order;
whatever you think will look best.
