The main problem I see is that the list of options for each item
has to be maintained by hand, so it's likely that the lists are
out of date. It would be best to automatically generate such a
list, but I don't see how. If we must maintain a list of relevant
options by hand, I would rather see it in the reference manual.

OK by me.
