#5269: RTS flag decoding broken

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Some misguided security paranoia seems to have turned off a lot of the
flag decoding done by the RTS, unless the program is compile with
{{{-rtsopts}}}. This is very annoying, because for 99% of the use cases
you want the flag decoding on. You should cater for the common case, not
the uncommon case. So my suggestion is to make {{{-rtsopts}}} the
default, and have a flag to turn it off.
