per email conversation with Henning Winkler, there is statistical merit in getting the variance of log(SSB/SSBmsy) and log(F/Fmsy). It would be easy to add this to the existing set of std options. I'd propose adding 10 to the option such that setting option ==12 rather than ==2 would invoke log(ratio).

@Rick-Methot-NOAA I added this to the change log since you noticed that it wasn't previously added with the 3.30.19 release.
