    Of course it does, it's correct ;) You're mixing 'set +o/-o' with
'setopt' and 'unsetopt'. If you want to list all options use
'setopt', without arguments, or 'set -o'. If you want to show ALL
options, no matter if they have their default value or not, use this
little snippet (for example):

    for option in ${(ko)options}; print ${(r:21:}option $options[$option]

    This will give you the list of all option names followed by its
value. I find this easier to understand that the default of prefixing
with 'no' and the like.
