I was going to say: boolean options should not have names ending in `-p'
(I see the existing glasses ones do, but no reason to continue doing
it). `-p' is the recommended suffix for a predicate *function*. `-flag'
was recommended for boolean options, but this recommendation has gone
away (eg because you might want to extend a boolean option to a 3-state
one in future). So an appropriate name for this option might be just
`glasses-separate-capital-groups'.

But then I noticed that several other files have options ending in `-p',
so maybe I'm wrong about this...
