Having more tools use libxo means having more broken tools.

%  w --libxo
w: missing libxo option

OK.  Let's check the manpage.

% man w

SYNOPSIS
     w [--libxo] [-dhin] [-M core] [-N system] [user ...]

--libxo doesn't take an optarg.  The only other use of
libxo in w(1) is the libxo(3) cross-reference.

% man 3 libxo
(search on --libxo)
     Output can then be generated in various style, using the "--libxo"
     option.

The only appearance of --libxo is in the above sentence.  Great.
So, what are these fictitious optargs and why are they not
documented?
