// Originally comes from shared/commandlineflags/flags.h

// Flags are defined and declared using DEFINE_xxx and DECLARE_xxx macros,
// where xxx is the flag type. Flags are referred to via FLAG_yyy,
// where yyy is the flag name. For intialization and iteration of flags,
// see the FlagList class. For full programmatic access to any
// flag, see the Flag class.
//
// The implementation only relies and basic C++ functionality
// and needs no special library or STL support.
