I think having them all in one option is easier. I guess we could
permit '0' to mean 'the default' but TBH I'd prefer if you specified
one of them you specify all of them, which would also avoid the need
for the rather convoluted language I tried to suggest about the
need to ensure that if you only specify some of them those ones
need to be compatible with the default.
