Good catch!  I had missed that the "builder" pattern (which I often advocate for), would be a perfect fit.   Updated the API on they fly. Phew!

Here is a snipped from https://cyberphone.github.io/CBOR.js/doc/playground.html which uses the entire set of decoder options:

     let decoder = CBOR.initDecoder(cborBytes)
         .setSequenceMode(sequenceFlag)
         .setDeterministicMode(deterministicFlag)
         .setNaNSupport(!rejectNaNFlag);
     while (object = decoder.decodeWithOptions()) {
       cborObjects.push(object);
       if (!sequenceFlag) {
         break;
       }
     }

Although people tend to never agree on names, this may be a little bit closer to your heart:
