Hmmm, At first glance, that seems to be a good idea. But after thinking this through, I came to the conclusion that other straight-flag designs (with other flag distances) might not work and, more importantly, such an automatism would obscure the the basic idea about detail-lists. How much exactly a flagged stem should be lengthened primarily depends on the design of the flags. Therefore, these values are not hard-coded but user-changeable (as we have seen). Any automatic interference (even if it's only in a special case like for flat-flag-style) could lead to unpredictable results and the user would lose part of the freedom and flexibility to set any desired value by modifying the details lists. For this very reason, I think we should keep the original way of dealing with Stem details by modifying the list details, even if this means an additional step when using flat flags style.
