I am guessing it would be difficult to maintain a list of these
options.  On the other hand it should be quick for you to check for a
specific one.

I don't think you can avoid going through the manual.  My experience
is that it is painful anyway.  I would advise you to start from the
few examples provided in the manual and try to adapt to your case;
when an (as simple as possible) example does not work as you would
expect, ask the list; there is a good chance that a good Samaritan
will have pity for you and answer.
