I wouldn't oppose it, but I find it might be somewhat misleading.
-minline-all-stringops seems to be presented as an optimization option,
because on x86 that's viable, whereas on some targets -finline-stringops
will often generate horribly inefficient code just to avoid some
dependencies on libc.  Now, it's undeniable that there is a connection
between them, in terms of offered functionality if not in goal and
framing/presentation.
