The new example uses pass-through mysqldump boolean flags (--skip-opt, --add-drop-table) without =<value>, but the OPTIONS synopsis currently documents extra mysqldump args only as [--<field>=<value>]. Consider updating that synopsis (or adding a short note near it) to clarify that valueless flags are supported too, otherwise this example can look like it contradicts the documented option format.
