The latest docs for parameterized tests give an example of implementing pytest_addoption in conftest.py.

But the docs for pytest_addoption itself say:

Implementing this hook from conftest.py files is strongly discouraged because conftest.py files are lazily loaded and may give strange unknown option errors depending on the directory py.test is invoked from.

I am confused because I have just followed the example in the latest parameterized test docs, only to discover I'm doing something that seems to be strongly discouraged.
