I'm not actually working on it at the moment. I decided to wait until
after the 3.0 release before making functional changes like this. But
if the consensus is in favour, it's really quite easy to produce a
patch.

That's going to break things. Sometimes one *wants* a list of all
options -- not least in the completion for {un,}setopt. If this change
is to be made, other things will have to change too. This definitely
should wait.
Not that I'm implacably opposed to the idea -- I just think that such a
radical change to the behaviour of existing builtins in the default
case is a bad move right before a production release.
