FWIW, in isearch+.el I have a key that toggles between nil and the last non-nil
value of the option.  So if the user customizes the option to `open' then the
key toggles between `open' and nil.  But Michael might be right that some users
will want to switch between any of the 3 values.

FWIW, I find the toggle useful.
