Thanks for the comment.  I forgot that the initial patch did that.
Fixed in the attached patch.

I think `:coding' at least needs to be treated specially, because if it
is omitted, other methods to determine the coding system take place
(`coding-system-for-{read,write}' and `find-operation-coding-system').
This is the same behavior as `make-network-process and
`make-serial-process' and maybe it is not worth breaking the
consistency.

`:connection-type' is there because the default value of the counterpart
global variable `process-connection-type' is t (not nil).  So, yes, it
could be eliminated if it is given another name which means a negation,
say `:nopty'.  But I'm not sure if it is intuitive for users.
