That would be sufficient for implementation-defined options, but
non-standard options should also include user-defined options. In order
for the metaclass writer to be able to define new options, there needs to
be a standard correspondence between the DEFCLASS form and the arguments to
ENSURE-CLASS-USING-CLASS.
