Ah, now I understand. This is specific to control classes: such controls cannot
be read nor written. They just provide a name for the control class, but both
G_CTRL and S_CTRL should fail.
So this specific combination of flags is specific to control classes only.
This works because a 'get' will fail if WRITE_ONLY is set, and a 'set' will fail
if READ_ONLY is set. Setting both flags will cause both 'get' and 'set' to fail.
It is admittedly a bit confusing.
