Ah, right, I hadn't noticed the kind stuff, maybe because it's unused
;-)

Right, that's why I suggested using a bitmask.

Okay, so I'll let you deal with this for a while yet.  A minor
suggestion: label the enum members distinctively, i.e. instead of
RO_BOOL perhaps use RELOPT_TYPE_BOOL, and RO_HEAP should be
RELOPT_KIND_HEAP (note this cannot be a plain enum, each category needs
a separate bit).
