 > In practice, this means that they differ when it comes to virtual
 (linelist_v) options like "HiddenServiceOptions" which are listed to the
 controller, but not settable.

 it.

 Is there any controller command that tells the controller which options it
 is not allowed to set?

 Or does control code that tries to set all options, need to special-case
 HiddenServiceOptions?
