Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:169 glynn]:

 > My intention is to modify the code which calls match_option()
 (set_option() and check_string()) to record which options are matched. If
 one option is a prefix of all of the others, the string will be considered
 to unambiguously match that option. If the match is ambiguous, we now have
 a list of which options matched, which can be used for the error message.

 This change is implemented in r63744.

 Currently, an ambiguous match for an option key lists the matches, but an
 ambiguous match for a value (opt->options) doesn't (as the error message
 is generated by the caller).
