Old description:



New description:

 Instances of the
 
[http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/structure/sage/structure/global_options.html
 GlobalOptions] class in `sage.structure.global_options` do not pickle,
 which is annoying and causes various problems.

 In addition, when the `GlobalOptions` class was introduced it was
 suggested in [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/sage-
 devel/globabloptions/sage-devel/7ApZgwBTU4U/Qe6QoeuYgvAJ sage-dev] that it
 "would be nice" if we could implement the syntax used in the IPython
 configuration:
 {{{

     A.options.foobar = 1

 in addition to

     A.options(foobar=1)
 }}}

 This (soon to be uploaded) patch will implement both of these features.
