It seems to do so for config files, but not for the environment.  

I noticed a commented out bit of code where you seemed to be considering
the ability to disable the check regardless of how the options are
parsed.

(in variables_map.cpp, around line 60)

            // Ignore options which are not described
            //TODO: consider this.
            //if (desc.count(name) == 0)
            //    continue;

So are you considering that? I would love that as a feature, possibly
one I can enable or disable through the parsed_options class.
