Yeah, just elaborating that the existing approach is flawed for several
reasons.

I don't know what happened to the wrapper function that set both
flags. I must have botched it when the topology code got merged.

Yep. But I'd rather fix this up the right way instead of perpetuating
the ugly two-flag monte.
