Hmm. There is still a problem with this.

Two options are turned off in subshells, so the command substitution
subshell $(set +o) will not store the output you want.

$ set +o >1
$ (set +o) >2
$ diff 1 2

< set -o zle

This only seems to be relevant on interactive shells though, as
'monitor' and 'zle' are turned off in scripts.
