It needs to be reset immediately after the option-parsing 'for'
loop, because the location info becomes obsolete as soon as we
exit the loop. All the remaining code is supposed to push/pop
location info if necessary, so we don't need another call.

I will do that.

Yes. And if we reorder my patch and yours, the conflicts look
trivial.

It looks good to me. I would like location setting to be done
automatically somehow, instead of requiring every option parser
to manually set location, but this can be figured out later.
