ControlPath and differing ssh options?

If one wants to go this way, then I just discovered Tags 

it should work like this (I haven’t tested it and never used tags)

Match tagged FA
  ForwardAgent yes
  ControlPath ~/.ssh/controlmaster-%r@%h-%p-forwardagent
  ControlMaster off
  …

and then to have a session with forwarding:

ssh -P FA user at host

But I still think we should be able to setup ssh to just do the right thing if the options differ in general.
