FWIW, I believe I'm OK with any of the 3 proposed solutions. Haven't thought about it much, but they all seem OK. Typically, Stefan, you do not like `;;;##autoload' cookies for user options (at least this has been argued before). Is there a reason here why you might prefer one of the other solutions? What "other problems" are you thinking of?
