dispatch: abort if early boolean options can't be parsed

Perhaps we'll need to restrict the parsing rules of --debugger and --profile,
where this patch will help us know why the --debugger option doesn't work.

I have another series to extend this feature to --config/--cwd/-R, but even
with that, shell aliases can be used to get around the restriction.
