I think some of the reforms you and Erik have been spitballing are
clear language improvements.  My concern is that until such reforms
are implemented, the current .class method of "or"ing in new flags
should continue to work (and ideally would continue to work for at
least one release that does contain the reforms, to give users a
reasonable migration window).
