I'm -1 on that, for three reasons:
* The amount of space saved is quite negligible. If queries had many
Query structs then it could matter, but they don't.
* This causes enough code churn to create a headache for back-patching.
* This'll completely destroy the readability of these flags in
pprint output.
I'm not greatly in love with the macro layer you propose, either,
but those details don't matter because I think we should just
leave well enough alone.
