Okay. I've added a -r option for that. Following patch includes all the
old _is_gnu using functions and documentation. I'll commit it now to get
it out of my way but can always change it next week. The -r was useful
in a couple of places but mostly I've used the return code.

One point about zparseopts -K with an association though. With opts[-c]
set before zparseopts and a -r option passed to _pick_variant, it
loses the value of opts[-c]. This came up with _make and I solved it
by not using -K. I suspect that it is applying -K across the whole
association instead of per-element as I would have expected.
