That adds another _configuration file_ to parse, not a set of command line options. Not the same thing. Options for parsing additional config files are common for tools that work with config files a lot. And even for those the option names have never been standardized, e.g. "--include" like you wrote for mpv, "--load" for Emacs, "-u" for vim etc. etc.
It's kind of the same thing because mpv uses a property system, the conf and CLI parser just use the property system, most mpv command line options are just properties.


Using the border property on the command line:

--border=yes
--border=no
--no-border
--border


In the conf file:

border = no


Maybe there are many tools that work like this, I know only mpv however.
