At least we'll still need to tell user how to use these two stages in practice.

I don't get it, they are literally the same thing, it's a normal case or a error
case depends on the ret value obtained. What do you mean by  "will be covered 
by the second one"? If the first argument process succeeds, the ret is 0, it
will continue to parse the second one, if ret is non-zero, it just goes out
by the `goto` statement.
