I considered using them for non-informational purposes. I guess if
anyone wants them, they could probably generate the names. My worry was
just that if you did that, the existing flags might not be enough to
disambiguate that in a useless way. Also the API could add new fields
that the API user would have to know about to disambiguate (for example
all but a new field could have the same values).

Anyway, let's just not have a name, bikeshed closed.
