New submission from Eric Kow <kowey at darcs.net>:

This is a sort of long-term task.  We should probably first get a clearer
picture what we mean by this (how do we define victory here?)

We pass [DarcsFlag] around a lot.  This is simple to write, but hard to read
(hard to reason about anyway).

Perhaps Petr's approach (splitting DarcsFlag into subflags like Compression) is
a good start?

Also, another thing that we may need to be deal with is the notion of defaults
and overrides.  It may be nice to have a uniform architecture for declaring flag
defaults.
