Please please please don't opencode boolean checking.  I think I've
purged all of it (certainly all that I'm aware of), and this example
isn't remotely compatible with existing boolean options.

Furthermore, you can't make something which looks like a single boolean
option with custom_param(), because you can't make the no- prefix work.
