That's ideal for a bug fix. It works less for new capability, where
describing the transition from a code perspective doesn't really tell
you anything since the prior state didn't exist.

Unless you're suggesting simply "Add $flag_safe."  I'm OK with that,
but see below.

It's in the documentation. I think it's useful to describe new features
in the first commit message as well.  I'll note that you disagree. :)
