(Free42) tips & tricks: local flags

[rprosperi]

You're right, it ignores flag-21, much to my surprise.

Sample output attached.

Though, if you're going to implement it, I'd still say it should honor flag-21 so the user has more control. I get that the 'why not?' answer of 'because the original doesn't' is true to the spirit of Free42, but it seems small improvements, when they don't break programs/code behavior, have been rightly made in the past and I'd say this is an example of when it should.

What is the downside of doing so?

Update: Added sample from a genuine 42S.
