New description:
Currently the user guide section on
[https://downloads.haskell.org/%7Eghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/phases.html
#ghc-flag--rtsopts[=%E2%9F%A8none|some|all|ignore|ignoreAll%E2%9F%A9
`-rtsopts`] specifies that `-rtsopts=some` is the default setting in the
text under it, while the specified default is `all`.
> "[this is the default setting] Enable only the “safe” RTS options:
(Currently only `-?` and `--info`.) Any other RTS options on the command
line or in the `GHCRTS` environment variable causes the program with to
abort with an error message."
Happy to submit a patch if someone can confirm that `all` is actually the
default, and that I'm not misunderstanding the meaning here.
