Review comment:
       (you basically get here when `options` is None, and there are also no 
`**kwargs`)
   
   This seems a sensible change to me (use the default constructor of the 
options class when no options are specified), but I think it might also be an 
indication that on the C++ side the sort_indices kernel has not a default 
options set, which is something we might want to fix on the C++ side? (since 
all other classes seem to have this, and can be called without options class 
specified)
   
   Now, this change also causes some failure in another test (one that tests 
the error message with wrong number of arguments, because it now errors here 
first). So if we keep it like this, I need to update that test
