For the situation in pod2text, the workaround you might consider is:
GetOptions (\%options, 'alt|a', 'color|c', 'help|h', 'indent|i=i',
'loose|l', 'sentence|s', 'termcap!', 't', 'width|w=i') or exit
1;
$options{termcap} ||= $options{t};
This permits bundling and --notermcap, and elicits no warning noises.
(It would not handle pod2text -t --notermcap in the usual way but it might
not be worth the extra effort of covering that, too.)
