Its not on the radar, it should probably atleast be bugzilla'd as a
feature request.

It shouldn't be terribly hard to do though (using a prefix like ken
states).  It would be harder to do and maintain the O(1) lookup speed we
have now (since the service-specific options just get dropped in the
lookup table directly).

I suspect we'd want to check stuff in this order:

<domain>_<service>_<option>
<domain>_<option>
<service>_<option>
<option>
