Are you suggesting the comment feature flag should start a new
convention by itself? Right now NANO_TINY is the only affirmative flag
and an all the other features are negative/disable flags.

It wouldn't take that much to switch to ENABLE_COMMENT but would it
make more sense to switch all the feature flags at the same time?

nineties, you seem to be creating some brand confusion with "-mike"
:-P
