It was amusing to do 6-8 years ago...

Doing that inside the library would be too difficult,
*especially* with the long option usage text being split
up into paragraphs.  Instead, a program could be built
that examines each untranslated string for "keywords"
(option names) and check that that keyword is in the
translated text.  That would likely be several days of
effort I don't have though. :(
