Of course you may do the very same thing, if you like. I think if
there's only one of these for the entire program, most Haskell programmers
would use a Boolean value, as the space you save with a single bit
is of too little consequence to bother with bit twiddling in Haskell.
The various flags that belong together might be housed in a `record'.
Or, in some contexts a list of an algebraic type might be useful -
like, "if elem FlagDebug flags", or
"if any (flip elem flags) [FlagDebug, FlagVerbose]"
