Thank you for clarifying thing.

Yes, this is correct. Some Access Methods already use it's own Options
structure. As far as I can guess StdRdOptions still exists only for historical
reasons, and became quite a mess because of adding all kind of stuff there.
Better to separate it.

BTW, as far as you are familiar with this part of the code, may be you will
join the review if this particular patch?
