What do you mean? We are defining (and checking on) a new flag which is 
not set yet. It's like adding a new feature which nobody uses yet.
Of course this patch alone doesn't make any sense on its own, it just 
sets the ground for features to be used later. But otherwise it should 
compile (and work) fine, you just can't test it yet.

See, the whole thing started as a single task which kept growing up by 
adding features which are somehow intertwined. So I tried to break it up 
into smaller pieces so to at make reviews easier. But logicallly, it's a 
big fat patch.

Replaced spaces with a tab, so to obey a previously mentioned formatting 
rule.

Why? If you try to unset a variable (e.g. stdin, console), you should 
*first* check whether that's a sane thing to do, and *then*, that being 
the case, delete it.
