Unfortunately, no such documentation exists, as far as i know.

If you have questions about specific combinations, we can try and
answer them.

We can, of course, also think about how one might go about
documenting this combinatorial morass. Any suggestions/examples?
(The general problem of transcription of the combinatorial
possibilities is of course intractable, but the problem may well
be tractable for HotSpot options by means of partitioning into orthogonal
subsets/"partitions".)
