The behaviour of your proposal is "specific option is always override the 
gerneral option, no matter which is the last". I still prefer not to support 
the override, which makes things more clear. But I am fine if other reviewers 
believe this behaviour is reasonable. @jyknight  @reames @craig.topper

----------------
The error information "must be one of: " is kind of misleading.
It seems that one kind of branch can be aligned.
