This should now have an additional validation check that this `--release`
option has been used only when `--describe-module` or `--validate` option has
been specified. I realize that this proposed change currently does a check for
these two main operations before invoking this option processing, but I think
we should also include the main operation check here and throw option
processing failure if the main operations aren't the ones we expect.
