Review comment:
       @Kh4L why dont we just separate out the hybridize & optimize_for flows. 
We'll leave hybridize as the way to set CachedOp flags. Optimize_for will only 
need to set _active=True, thats the only line that would be duplicated. setting 
backend would only be done in optimize_for. This will achieve the goal you set 
out to: removing backend_opts and enable specifying those options via kwargs.
