I think it should because it strengthens the user awareness about cope of
options.

Anyway: Is there a way to view/set both: local and global settings for those
options which are both?

I totally missed that you can change options that way. I never missed it
either. By reading the code I assumed its a view only.

Agreed.

I'd assume people using Vim on very slow machines know the options they
use very often anyway - probably they have also mapped them.

Do you have a rough estimate about how long it takes on such slow
machines? Maybe I can can benchmark alternative solutions to find out
how much slower they would be.

Eg pressing <cr> on binary options could be enough to toggle them - no
need to edit them - no need to show the "alternative" value.

The logic is pretty simple.

Thanks for making me understand what that page is about.
