        +<alertname>  enable alert <alertname>
        -<alertname>  disable alert <alertname>
        ++<alertname> treat <alertname> as fatal error
        --<alertname> treat <alertname> as non-fatal
        @<alertname>  enable <alertname> and treat it as fatal error
    <alertname> can be 'all' to refer to all alert names
  -absname  Show absolute filenames in error messages
  -annot  (deprecated) Save information in <filename>.annot
  -bin-annot  Save typedtree in <filename>.cmt
  -c  Compile only (do not link)
  -cc <command>  Use <command> as the C compiler and linker
  -cclib <opt>  Pass option <opt> to the C linker
  -ccopt <opt>  Pass option <opt> to the C compiler and linker
  -color {auto|always|never}  Enable or disable colors in compiler messages
    The following settings are supported:
      auto    use heuristics to enable colors only if supported
      always  enable colors
      never   disable colors
    The default setting is 'auto', and the current heuristic
    checks that the TERM environment variable exists and is
    not empty or "dumb", and that isatty(stderr) holds.
  If the option is not specified, these setting can alternatively
  be set through the OCAML_COLOR environment variable.
  -error-style {contextual|short}  Control the way error messages and warnings are printed
    The following settings are supported:
      short       only print the error and its location
      contextual  like "short", but also display the source code
                  snippet corresponding to the location of the error
    The default setting is 'contextual'.
  If the option is not specified, these setting can alternatively
  be set through the OCAML_ERROR_STYLE environment variable.
