The problem with this type-safe way of doing things is the

Yeah I realize that. Now that we have omitTF as an option we could really
go crazy ;)

I figured since we already have NOT_ANALYZED_NO_NORMS we may as well round it out with ANALYZED_NO_NORMS, and then stop there. Plus, people have been
surprised that you could do ANALYZED_NO_NORMS, yet it is useful.

Why not make this flag field into a bitmap?

I think that makes sense, at some point in the future (when we clean up Fieldable/AbstractField/Field?). This way you can OR together things like NORMS/NO_NORMS, ANALYZED/NOT_ANALYZED, INCLUDE_TF/OMIT_TF, etc.
