+ * filenames using the json:{} pseudo-protocol, they will be
+ * correctly typed.
+ * In contrast, reopening options are (currently) always strings
+ * (because you can only specify them through qemu-io; all other
+ * callers do not specify any options).
+ * Therefore, when using anything other than -drive to create a BDS,
+ * this cannot detect non-string options as unchanged, because
+ * qobject_is_equal() always returns false for objects of different
+ * type. In the future, this should be remedied by correctly typing

+ * the user can simply omit options which cannot be changed anyway,
