Comment (by jstolarek):

 > I agree on "multiple -msse flags" point. It's completely reasonable to
 choose last version if multiple flags were provided by user.

 What do you mean by "last version". "Latest SSE version" or "last version
 given on the command line"? I meant the former.

 As for tests, you can test that:
 1. all `msse` flags are listed by `--show-options` flag
 2. incorrect `-msse` flag is rejected (see
 https://phabricator.haskell.org/D503 for an example how to do that).
