While they keep the sense, it takes few more brain cycles to parse IMHO.
Also "support" is nice placeholder word for generic support (as opposed to
some specific usage for particular feature, or when words like "use" are

That's because OptionsNG poorly implement mutually exclusive options.  I
hope that eventually dialog's --radiolist would be utilized for proper
handling, and sane knobs names would be restored.

Sounds like a nice port junior hacker project.
