Hey Kapil,

thanks for review!
I'm in the middle of something, but I'll get round to it this weekend - it all 
seems very agreeable at a quick glance.

I'll reply with more detail, but in the meantime, please note that teh idea was 
*not* expose the master/agent flags as types - the module simply iterates over 
the map (and getting the string values, not the actual typed objects); but I'm 
assuming that the flags' names will be from *fairly* to *very* stable, so the 
risk is rather low?

I think that exposing the flags in an include module would actually make 
matters worse, as it would cause backward compatibility issues and would impact 
the ability of Mesos to move forward wrt existing modules?

In any event, the way to cope with change would be as usual: for the *required* 
ones the module would have to fail (great suggestion to have a `Try` returned 
by the initialization) and for the *optional* ones, it will just have to make 
do without (possibly emitting warnings).
