Feel free to make that text more accurate, sure. As long as we agree
that the problem exists, I see no need to argue. The relevant code is
complex enough for me to welcome any insights from anyone, certainly
from you. I don't claim to have a 100% clear vision of everything
that's going on with these flags. I write that text so that we don't
forget the problem, and so that maybe someone will want to work on
this, and make the maintenance easier.
