I was thinking of scripts that specify some options, but allow the
caller to override them by providing later options.  This trivial with
gcc, for instance, in which the last -Ox option takes effect.  Thus, a
makefile can specify -On and the user can override it by specifying
something else in the CFLAGS.  In this particular case, it perhaps
really isn't that useful.  But to improve semantic consistency, I'd
prefer it.
