To save fingers and real-estate, adopt the following convention: by default, adjectives like writable and contiguous are 'required' unless tagged with 'OK', as in WRITABLE_OK. Explain that in the flag doc just before the flags themselves. And yes, ND for N_DIMENSIONAL or MULTIDIMENSIONAL is also a great win that can also be explained in the same intro.
