small suggestion:
mabye the field name could be made more generic and would be reusable
for more flags.

  Hum .... asserts .... Can't we make a normal test/error/exit handling
so that errors there can be chanelled the same way as any other ?

  then maybe both enums definitions should be defined next to each other
finding the requirement when editing somewhere else relies on luck, let's move
the definition closer.


  I don't really see a problem, but I don't have a good understanding of that
code yet,
