Interesting to have the methods laid out like that. It makes a handy ready-reference.

# Irradiance caching, off.
options.SetUseIrradianceCache(0)
# SetIrradianceCache ?
# Does not appear to exist?
# Indirect light?
# Appears to be always off?

The Render Firefly script has control over irradiance and IDL settings, some of which don't appear in the standard render settings dialogue, so they must be available somehow. I don't know enough Python to be able to work out how, though...
