IIRC that's basically true.  There's a lot of dissatisfaction with the
current implementation of reloptions, although I think that it's been
mainly focused on the fact that adding new ones is hard/error-prone
even within the core code.  If you want to help move this along, you
could review the existing patch in the area:

and/or propose additional changes.
