well, it removes any possible ambiguity; it's meaning may be obvious for you
but for me, when I see an "introspection" useflag, I wonder why that package
would like to do its self psychanalysis...
also, remember that having useflag descriptions is only an addition to accurate
useflag names, not a justification for having vague names
