ok thinking out loud here - reducing this to the functional change that
fixes the bug, (apologies for the surely-mangled whitespace, I'm being lazy),
it looks something like:

and that makes sense to me. I wonder if there's any further cleanup that could
make it slightly more clear or foolproof re: which flag matches which ctx_set_*
generated function, so the wrong thing doesn't get sent to the wrong routine,
but that's a different issue, so for the patch as you sent it,
