Can you add comments about the exact meaning of these four flags. When adding
them we had plenty of discussion what each of them meant and it might be good to
spell that out here. The lack of documentation was contributing to the time it
took to implement this change. The other was the distributed nature of the data
which you are addressing here by consolidating in one file.
