It enables all the other TDFs (TDF_UID, TDF_LINENO, etc). TDF_DETAILS works at a higher-level, it tells the pass to show more details about what it does. It was meant to do things like show the activities done by the SSA propagator, for instance.

Would you be willing to work on implementing this? Or perhaps put it in the TODO list on the Wiki so someone else can work on it? In the meantime, I don't have a strong objection to your TDF_ANALYSIS, so go ahead with it, if you want. Thanks.
