If I want to define the value of my new option "very-strawbery" in the
level of an Org-mode buffer (or file), I need to add this new option
into the variable `org-export-options-alist` like this:

If I evaluate this:

    (add-to-list 'org-export-options-alist
                 '(:very-strawbery "VERYSTRAWBERY" nil nil))


To quote the docstring of `org-export-options-alist`:

After adding my new export option, I can use it by writing this on my
Org-mode buffer/file I want to export:

    #+VERYSTRAWBERRY: TestTestTest


After exporting my Org-mode buffer/file to HTML, I get a preamble with
the text "TestTestTest".


Note :

* Having a buffer option for "very-strawbery" is useful for export
  but also for publish. I can set a value that will override the
  value set in the Org-publish project settings.

* The variable `org-export-options-alist` is made for options who are
  back-end agnostic. But I didn't found a way to modify export options of
  HTML backend without redefine a new backend.
