The fact that jackd has a --foobar option does not mean that a GUI front end for jackd should expose it. The developers of JACK were/are hackers/tinkerers and were egged on by other hackers/tinkerers to make as many things possible as we could. This might be good for hackers/tinkerers but it doesn't make it good for most users.
Open your jack1 code. Add shortened words to that effect on
each experimental command-line option you want. Push. Done.
QJackctl team then then adds an "Experimental" tab, and moves
option items to it, that you marked so, or hides them completely -
it's their decision.
Advanced tab = "Yeah, you might need these."
Experimental tab = "Hands off, fool!"
Problem solved. Everyone happy. No?

Ah, you want the "not nice" setting.
Tim.
Maybe there are other ways to get there.

I find that response surprising, unhelpful and quite wrong.
How can anyone discover whether they need to use a feature
if nobody
will tell
them what it does?
How does one become 'advanced'?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
