I think the general movement is to convert things to QemuOpts.  As long
as all compound options use QemuOpts, they are consistent and any
syntactic sugar will apply to all in the same way.

I, for one, can never remember if it is =on, =true, =yes (and
interestingly =no works but =yes doesn't).  So I welcome a new
completely different syntax that doesn't have this problem. :)
