Anyone is free to write documentation, I feel like I've about done my share...

Same as above...

Even if it isn't perfect English, it saves me time. Just write it to
the style of already-documented options, I'll fix up the grammar.

Sorry, I cannot do this today (<- I announce this to avoid waiting for me --
pacman is released soon), because I'm writing from a windows terminal of a

It is a little easter egg. I don't think there is any need to document
it.

Currently doesn't do anything; no need to document it either.

Never noticed that one before, had to look through the code to see
what it did. It's actually a pretty neat feature.
