<p>This extension defines a facility for <q>options</q>, which are dynamic
properties that may be changed at run time.</p>

<p>There are two facilities for passing options to an instance: opts:options
allows passing options at instantiation time, and the opts:interface interface
allows options to be dynamically set and retrieved after instantiation.</p>

<p>Note that this extension is only for allowing hosts to configure plugins,
and is not a <q>live</q> control mechanism.  For real-time control, use
event-based control via an atom:AtomPort with an atom:Sequence buffer.</p>

<p>Instances may indicate they <q>require</q> an option with the
opts:requiredOption property, or that they optionally <q>support</q> an option
with the opts:supportedOption property.</p>
