There would be no default.  Running with no option given would raise an
error.  The point is: you want to break scripts currently running
--analyze-in-stages so that they can make a choice of which of these two
modes to run.  Your proposal (as I understand it) is to remove the
--analyze-in-stages option and add two other options.  My proposal is to
keep --analyze-in-stages, but require it to have a specifier of which
mode to run.  Both achieve what you want, but I think mine achieves it
in a cleaner way.

I'm not sure what exactly are you asking here.
