Dear Developers, As part of the clean up of the partitions code by Travis (Trac 13605<http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/13605>) I implemented a generic options interface in sage which can be used for controlling (global) options for sage objects. See sage.structure.global_options for details. This patch, including the global_options, was merged in sage-5.8.beta3.
Novosel has just complained, quite justifiably, on the ticket above that the global options should have been given their own ticket rather than being hidden in a large patch. Apologies for this, but these options just grew as part of my review patch with fine tune-tuning (and reviewing) from Travis and Nicolas at ICERM... Given the obscure manner in which this options framework has entered sage, and Novosel's comment on the ticket, I now take the opportunity to advertise them.
