The problem is, you give two examples immediately followed by "In the first example ..." - and reader expects then "In the second example ...". And the whole paragraph stresses the _options_ case just casually mentioning _arguments_ (hence my confusion). So I suggest adding something like "In the second example the argument (which one?) won't be offered if option -foo is present" -andrej
