I completely agree with this. The usual behaviour I see that works well
is:

no-parameter supplied:
 Feature enables if possible

--without | --disable:
 Feature does not enable and does not probe for dependencies

--with | --enable:
 Feature enables and probes for dependencies, any missing dependencies
are fatal.
