I guess it could echo the options it understood back (which would be
useful as it would allow the server to pass the client options too -
currently these are limited to flags). However, that would require
a change to how the existing one option is handled.

Another possibility would be to set (e.g.) the top bit of the option
number to mean "error if you don't understand this", which would be
rather less fine-grained.
