Comment (by flixos90):

 For reference, in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/58964#comment:12
 @boonebgorges outlines a few caveats with the idea proposed here: If we
 allow changing the autoload value without updating the option, what do we
 do with the return value of `update_option()`? Should it still return
 `false` because the option was not updated, or should it return `true`
 when the autoload value was updated, despite the option not being updated?
 Both of these would be somewhat confusing :/
