I'm not sure why NO is necessary if it causes no special expansion of the flags. Again, I'm trying to avoid any and all "dual use" of variables, only having "NO" be a special value in non-boolean situations when there's really no other reasonable way of doing it, e.g. I either have a filename parameter for something or I have "NO" to denote that the option is turned off entirely. Those are kinda evil, from a conceptual standpoint, but there are 3-4 instances where a foo_enable and a foo was just too redundant, and there are no DEFAULT cases for them in any event so the point is kinda moot.
