Ooh, I've noted a slightly more sophisticated (but slower) way in my
.zshrc.

  zmodload -i zsh/parameter
  for opt in incappendhistory histexpiredupsfirst typesetsilent; do
    [[ -n ${options[$opt]} ]] && setopt $opt
  done

This relies on the special options associative array, also used by
completion.
