This allows the CLI to expose options that the renderers can offer. These options are limited (string, int, bool and bytes), so no lists or choices, etc. Each renderer's options are also global options, meaning they're always present (although grouped). There's two ways of handling this: a) Prefix each option with the renderer's name, duplicate options are unique b) Deduplicate options with duplicate names and prefix 'renderer' The current choice is a) because b) might confuse people that an option which only applied to one renderer would be available for all, but comes with the inconvenience that users must adapt the option name for those that are duplicated with the same meaning. This is at least functional and extendable in the future but still a bit clunky. We could have brought the entire configuration mechanism into play, but each renderer would require a context and a config_path and so on, meaning massive overkill and a non-addition-only API change.
