Sounds reasonable.  Other problematic options are -c, -g (in combination 
with a custom backend), and behavior-changing configuration files.

Since most people won't call gnetlist directly, using another name for the 
wrapper and fixing the tools which use the problematic options internally 
(like gsch2pcb) should solve that problem.
