You can't use <option> in <cmdsynopsis>.  You want to do something
like

	  <cmdsynopsis>
	    <command>load_env</command>
            <arg choice="opt">--someoption</arg>
	    <arg choice="opt"><replaceable>array_name</replaceable></arg>
	  </cmdsynopsis>

Outside of cmdsynopsis, you can use <option>, but not <arg>.
