It's unfortunate that it is implemented this way since changing it will take time. This option should *really* be like OPT_CHOICE but with doubles and not integers. We don't have that though and implementing it is something for the future. Even if that was done today, this still couldn't be switched to since setting -1 has been the effective way for years to undo video-aspect stuff. So the approach is to just add another special keyword for this and tell people to use that instead. Note that setting 0 isn't deprecated since M_RANGE(0, 10) is totally fine and would work in the future if this option type ever gets redone.
