DESCRIPTION
    This module adds a few methods to "Apache2::RequestRec" class to work
    with Apache's "Options".

  METHODS
    $r->set_allow_options( $opts )
    $r->clear_allow_options( $opts )
        These 2 methods set or clear "Options" in the current
        "$r->per_dir_config". Remember that "$r->per_dir_config" is reset
        after the Uri Translation Phase. Thus, these methods are not useful
        in an "PerlPostReadRequestHandler" or a "PerlTransHandler".

        When called from a "PerlMapToStorageHandler" options set this way
        may be overridden in later phases since after this phase
        "<Directory>", "<Files>" and "<Location>" sections are merged.

        Options set the Header Parser Phase or later are valid until the end
        of the request cycle.

    @strings=$r->allow_options_as_strings( $opts )
    @strings=Apache2::SetOptions->allow_options_as_strings( $opts )
        convert an "Options" value into human readable strings.

    ($opts, $err)=$r->allow_options_from_strings( @words )
    ($opts, $err)=Apache2::SetOptions->allow_options_from_strings( @words )
        convert strings into an "Options" value. The 2nd return value is an
        ARRAY reference containing words that aren't known options.

  EXPORT
    nothing
