I've found this place as a single spot handling (or skipping) tons of options and as a source of the error message.
The launcher code I've investigated provides a lot of checking, however no suitable place to skip any option. Filtering in launcher would require significant refactoring, or repeated filtering on many spots to handle all alternative paths (unless I missed something important).

Alternate suggestions are welcome, or link to relevant documentation, or an example of another filtered option.

Thanks,
Adam
