Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:91 flixos90]:
 > this means for options with pre filters, the original purpose of this
 ticket won't get fixed. But I think that is a better trade off than the
 breakage we're seeing from the workaround of temporarily unhooking
 filters, and it's overall an edge-case anyway.

 +1. Ran into this when working on the patch to add data type support for
 options. The "proper" solution seems to be to trust that the plugins that
 user the `pre_` filters will do the right thing :)
