Traditionally setting the +options to other values would then change the buildtype to `custom`. +This is confusing and means that you can't use, for example, debug +level `g` in `debug` buildtype even though it would make sense under +many circumstances. Starting with the buildtype is only changed when +the user explicitly sets it. Setting the build type sets the other +options to their default values as before.
