Expected weirdness. :-)
It is because of the use of 'assoc-ref' on 'opts' which returns the
first match, so the first in the alist, so the last in the
command-line.  This behaviour is a feature. ;-)

Well, thanks for the reminder on #40549.  Now I have a better
understanding (e.g., query vs action), I am going to revisit it.
