I think it looks like 'flag' is the literal default value for the
-eightbit option. I do like the idea of lists, it is more Tcl-like.
But Tcl already has a syntax for procs, and this clashes with it.
To be compatible, the type specifier would have to be the third arg,
but then you couldn't specify the type without also specifying a
default. I don't see a clean way to do it...
