Picking up Thomas Fossati's suggestion of forwarding unrecognised
options, I could imagine a bit that says "this option can be safely
forwarded by an intermediary that doesn't understand it".

With such a bit, specifying out-of-band whether an option is part of
the cache key doesn't work any longer, so I guess we'd need another
bit that says "this option is part of the cache key".
