That's ok, but it means that at the level of the resource / provider interface, Puppet cannot set individual options, only all of them as a group. You can't have it both ways.
Inside your provider, however, you can implement the interface to the underlying tool any way you want. In particular, in your options= function, you can look at the current value and the value being set, extract the changes, and apply only those. I guess you were trying to do something like that in your insync? function, but if you're doing something like that then options= is probably where it should go.
