Where do you intend to use this flag? So some justification or description 
of your plans is missing from the commit message.

What about built-in named constants, such as min/max/default?

Some options in nvenc could be greatly simplified with it, where right 
now there's multiple if/switch-trees in the code, just to weed out 
invalid values.

Due to it technically being an API break, just turning it on for old 
options is not that easy, but it's something for a future major update.

This doesnt feel right.

The code would need to validate the actual value the same way it
checks min/max at least

avoptions allows the user to obtain a parameters address and set
it directly as well as set it without any AVOption

iam still not sure thats a good idea.
Why are the values not in a continous sequence of integers that can
be checked with min/max ?

thx

Cause they're simply not, gotta ask Nvidia for details.
They started having enums with holes in them all over the place.

This flag obviously cannot be used for pre-existing options where users 
got accustomed to using various values.
And there also needs to be validation of valid values nevertheless, due 
to the possibility of API clients setting the values directly.

But this behaviour of only accepting the named constants from users, and 
no arbitrary values, is exactly what I'd like to achieve.
