Works like loadfile. The documentation is copied from it. This allows reloading the current file from the same time-pos without hacks.

What happens if options were added with loadfile already? Why we need to duplicate it in play command?

They are just merged with any previous file-local-options. The use case for this was that I wrote a format quality selector, then realized it's useless since you can set --script-opt=ytdl_hook-all_formats=yes and use regular track selection much more quickly without rerunning yt-dlp, but still in that selector I would do playlist-play-index current start=${time-pos} to restart the stream from the same position. Hackier alternatives are write-watch-later-config; playlist-play-index current, or using this temporary event listener https://github.com/christoph-heinrich/mpv-quality-menu/blob/6e4dc5ee8d41b422239ae504c52647a1478675b7/quality-menu.lua#L245. Again I don't know if this is worth adding regardless. Though maybe we can bind ctrl+r to a builtin script using this for general purpose refresh of the current URL, if that's worth it.

Actually I did not think of this because I use --watch-later-options=start, but write-watch-later-config; playlist-play-index current will also preserve --watch-later-options other than start. So maybe it's better to just use that.

Not sure if this is worth it.
