      And then the -flag name won't hold true and we'll have to
    rename it and break people's .emacs file.

Now that we have aliases for variables, you can rename a variable and
make the old name an alias.  So the .emacs files will not will
actually break.

Nonetheless, the need to change the name is somewhat undesirable.
