We deliberately did as we did with 'export as sql'. This was never intended for backing up tables (if you try you get a warning), but to export a result set. Result sets may come from different tables using different engines etc.
We use the client API export_set function (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_export-set) to get the information (that means the data structure – as held by the client – of the result set alone to compose the table definition. (and BTW: I have an open bug report about same here: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=58028)
What are the specific options you feel are missing?
I´m not really missing anything, but thought that the options should be consistent. In case this was done on purpose, I´m fine with it =)
