The flag is deliberately not being "advertised" - that was the compromise that we agreed on in https://reviews.llvm.org/D122008. Personally, I would really like to document it and make it more visible, but I don't want anyone to feel that their reservations are being ignored.

A while back we added documentation to clarify this. The bash script (which is the most confusing part) is documented here <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/flang/docs/FlangDriver.md#the-flang-script> (that's being updated here). I'm not sure whether there's anything else that we could improve 🤔. In D125788#3523443 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D125788#3523443>, @rouson wrote: > I think this is an exciting step.
