Maybe we could generate both sets of flags (here and in the header)
from elsewhere. That sounds like work though.

That's what I thought, too -- on both counts. A general solution could
even provide class-dependent decoding of the "private" flags.
But it occurred to me that if I commit this change, we are then more
or less obligated to do this work sooner or later, and live with having
to update two places in the mean time. This made me uncomfortable. Do
you think it's worth it?
