Yup, as long as that declarative thing (presumably it would hook into parse-options that is already sort of declarative) allows some command line options not overridable with configuration, I think it would be OK. I do not think anybody wants to see "reset --hard" and turn it into "[reset] hard = yes" configuration, and we should not even allow for that.
