Thanks for your report. This is clearly an oversight on our behalf.

Together with a helpful message in the ERRORBUFFER I think the existing
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN return should be good enough.

Typically the setopt() call is mostly just a set operation so the data isn't
actually used or parsed until perform() is called and that's the case for this
option. curl_easy_perform() will then be the function that returns an error
for this.
