Yeah I was looking at the struct too and this bit didn't seem great. I
think it'd be better to have the struct be output only; so
"specified_opts" would be part of the struct (not necessarily with that
name), but "supported opts" (which is input data) would be passed as a
separate argument.  That seems cleaner to *me*, at least.
