Description
If an option value didn't actually change, a lot of code probably shouldn't run at all. Should be possible to implement that within option or _setOptions.
I'd rather see this done as-needed in specific widgets, otherwise a widget is incapable of knowing about a setOption that is setting the value to the current value. That could be done to force a side effect or a type of refresh (maybe a full refresh is not available or would be more drastic). An example of this is setting the dialog position.
