Comment (by Rarst):

 I feel like this keeps circling back to "let's introduce a lot of
 complexity and/or side effects to not access this specific option".

 Accessing options is normal. It's not particularly slow (still need to
 double check what is autoload thinking about time zone ones). It's not
 worth severe issues with testing through static caches or complicating
 function signatures that are already (out of backwards compat necessity)
 too complex.

 If you are set on eliminating option access here - I suggest the string
 approach. It's good enough given that formats are fixed and being ancient
 global vars aren't likely to change around.
