Valid values are:
- * ``fast`` (fuse across statements disregarding pragmas, default for CUDA)
- * ``on`` (fuse in the same statement unless dictated by pragmas, default for languages other than CUDA/HIP)
- * ``off`` (never fuse)
- * ``fast-honor-pragmas`` (fuse across statements unless dictated by pragmas, default for HIP)
