Verbose please. Do you think we should delay the conversion of

I concurred with "it's up for discussion". I'm happy do discuss, of
course.
What are the boolean parameters, and is there *any* evidence of use with
the sugar in the wild?
There is no evidence for -machine, -accel or -object.
Notably (and for Libvirt only):
- '-object' takes a detour through JSON, and uses sometimes =on/=off or
sometimes =yes/=no.
- '-accel' is not used at all
- '-machine' does not use short-form boolean options by sheer luck.
The only known usage in Libvirt, for instance, is for "-chardev" and "-vnc".
