  Whoops, now I feel stupid! I really though I had implemented it
when I added the flags options (ctxt->parseFlags and associated APIs),
that was certainly my intent, but ... it's not there. Should be rather
simple, just adding a new value for parsing flags (annoying, but well)
and test against it on line 1681.
  If you have a patch ready for this, sure send it along !

   thanks, and sorry :-)
