> Hi Asbjørn, thanks for your work, it makes sense for driver check. Will it better to name flags as "ctrl_flags" to make it more clear since it indicates the ctrl_flags in rule and you name it as control.flags in the following print message.

Good point, I will rename that argument in v2.

I copied the error message verbatim from sfc.
