Absolutely.  I also have another suggestion with respect to option names:
Some kind of quoting mechanism should be used.  Instead of

option name King safety weight type spin default 100 min 0 max 200

one should use something like this:

option name "King safety weight" type spin default 100 min 0 max 200

It is just too stupid that it is not possible to use words like "type",
"min", "max" and "default" in option names.
