It is not currently possible, you have to copy the options.

I don't think that setting per-area defaults is the best way how to
solve this. It is not uncommon to have several classes of ifaces with
different sets of options. Perhaps named iface templates, like ones
used for protocols, could solve this issue in a better way:

template "wired" { hello 3; retransmit 2; wait 10; dead 15; check link; };
template "wireless" { hello 5; retransmit 2; wait 10; dead 60; };

interface "eth0" from "wired" { cost 10; };
interface "eth1" from "wired" { cost 20; };
interface "wlan0" from "wireless" { cost 100; };
interface "wlan1" from "wireless" { cost 200; };

Any comments?
