Hi Kou-san,

In the current implementation, there is no way that one can check
incompatibility
options in ProcessCopyOptions, we can postpone the check in CopyFromStart
or CopyToStart, but I think it is a little bit late. Do you think
adding an extra
check for incompatible options hook is acceptable (PFA)?
