Description

Right now the input validation will not warn you if there is an unused field in the options struct. This results in a problem when you make a typo in a field name, causing the solver to use the default options quietly.

No file or test is named. Start by locating the input-validation path and the options-struct handling, then reproduce a misspelled or unused field. Done means the validation warns about the unused field instead of silently using the default option.
