What about -an which needs extdebug defined before it works? I'd suggest 
that possibly 'fpc' or 'fpc -?' should display the currently-usable set, 
but -h which is more likely to be used by people who aren't utter 
beginners should display everything with [disabled] annotation where 
necessary.

While on this, I'd suggest that minimally-sensible output in response to 
--version and --help would be useful since this usage is so common these 
days.
