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. (This is a defect.)
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)
}}}
Implementing this is an enhancement, which is why this ticket is listed as
an enhancement!
This (soon to be uploaded) patch will implement both of these features.
