Yeh there is work on that, i agree , but if you definitively add more flexible option, you will end with 100 option, and that would be terrible as already searching in the 32 one available!
Would the numerical order of options stay the same if the features were rearranged into groups? The documentation and countless forum threads refer to specific options/#, so it would be confusing to renumber or reorder these.
The options could potentially go into an editable config file for easier overview? Generally you settle on a particular configuration and touch it very seldomly.
Alternately, one could just write them as a list in the wiki or “user manual” for people to have? I’m fine with scrolling the list, it’s rare that I do these days anyway..
