Comment (by boonebgorges):

 dd32 - It never dawned on me that one would want to use this to change
 `autoload` for existing options, but on reflection I totally agree.

 >  We could reduce the weight of that change by requiring the value
 changes as part of the update.

 Yeah. There would be a lot of questions about return values and hooks if
 it were possible to update `autoload` without also updating `value`. I'll
 try to make the requirement clear in the docs.
