One alternative idea would be to instead make syslog and stderr logging orthogonal by adding not just --no-syslog, but also --[no-]stderr. For backwards compatibility, --syslog would imply --no-stderr, but you could also enable logging to both channels with --syslog --stderr, or disable all logging with --no-syslog --no-stderr. But that doesn’t really solve the interaction with --detach – --detach --stderr would still be a nonsensical combination.
