// This file is a compatibility layer that defines Google's version of
// command line flags that are used for configuration.
//
// We put flags into their own namespace.  It is purposefully
// named in an opaque way that people should have trouble typing
// directly.  The idea is that DEFINE puts the flag in the weird
// namespace, and DECLARE imports the flag from there into the
// current namespace.  The net result is to force people to use
// DECLARE to get access to a flag, rather than saying
//   extern bool FLAGS_logtostderr;
// or some such instead.  We want this so we can put extra
// functionality (like sanity-checking) in DECLARE if we want,
// and make sure it is picked up everywhere.
//
// We also put the type of the variable in the namespace, so that
// people can't DECLARE_int32 something that they DEFINE_bool'd
// elsewhere.
