There are quite a few inappropriate uses of [...] around argument values. The [] are intended to indicate optionality, but in some cases it is used to wrap a set of enum values. In other cases it is being used to show the value is entirely optional, which was common behaviour for boolean values in the past. QEMU has deprecated short-form boolean options for quite a while though, and we should thus not advertize this possibility in the docs.
