As I've noted before I'd prefer use string values to set bool/numeric options.
Mybe we would need to be able to declare whether an option was "optional", or a
mandatory setting, eg.
builder = createFile(path)
builder.mandatory("encryption", true)
builder.opt("erasure-coding", false)
builder.opt("fadvise", "random")
builder.mandatory("hsync", true) // better support real hsync, not pretend to
lets client code be out of sync with what's shipping on their classpath.
stops clients needing to know exactly which FS client they've got. All you need
to know is there's a builder you can set things on. Setting an
unsupported/not-yet-supported option isn't a problem, it is if you make it
mandatory.
allows clients to code against a stream without needing the relevant JARs on
the CP at compile time, or hard code for a specific FS.
I believe it could help some of the filtering filesystems return different
clients from different paths, without the client needing to try casting it to
different instances to eventually get one which supports the option game.
could also let filter filesystems inject their own options in between. I can't
imagine they would, but they could.

Lets discuss the designs of the set options interfaces here.
