How can the user agent be changed in Opera?

The per-site preferences (tab Network, field Browser identification) lists

  • Identify as Opera
  • Identify as Firefox
  • Identify as Internet Explorer
  • Masquerade as Firefox
  • Masquerade as Internet Explorer

But can it be set to an arbitrary string (for example, googleinstantisreallyirritating)?

Opera version: 11.11

Opera support document indicates this is not possible. The possible choices are the numeric identifiers, which correspond to each user agent mentioned in the question.

This comment (admittedly, over a year old) by an Opera employee also confirms the same.
