Can be done much more neatly by a call-checker plugin and custom ops.
I'm thinking of it looking something like
$out .= $_ if toggle /^--a$/, /^--b$/;
Named toggles just need a slight extension to put their state somewhere
visible. As the hiddenness of a toggle's state is a nasty aspect of
the core feature, I'd be inclined to make these toggles use an explicit
variable, whose lifetime can be controlled in the usual ways:
my $tog;
reset_toggle $tog;
$out .= $_ if toggle $tog, /^--a$/, /^--b$/;

If a toggle reset feature is added to the core, it should not further
overload an existing core operator, especially one that is presently
unrelated.
