Inspired by [1], the first half of this series attempts to implement a new visitor that should clean up defining and processing command line options. For a more detailed description, please see "[PATCH 04/16] qapi: introduce OptsVisitor".
The second half converts -net/-netdev parsing to the new visitor. The series depends on "qapi: convert netdev_add & netdev_del" v5, see [2]. Comments highly appreciated; please keep me CC'd. Thank you.
