[SR-Users] flags documentation

[Alex Balashov]

Hi,

I have this set up in my configuration boilerplate:

--
flags
         DUMMY           : 1,
         PDD_DAMPEN      : 2,
         PROXY_MEDIA_SET    : 3,
#!ifdef WITH_NAT_TRAVERSAL
         SIPPING         : 4,
#!endif
         DUMMY2          : 12
--

I then use these aliases in transaction flags, e.g. setflag(PDD_DAMPEN).

But I can honestly say I don't remember how I arrived at this approach. 
I wrote it somewhere in early 3.x days. However, when I look at the core 
documentation for the 'flags' declaration, all I find is:

http://www.kamailio.org/wiki/cookbooks/4.4.x/core#flags

Or namely:

--
flags

Alias name: bool
--

And there is no entry for "bool". So, I couldn't have possibly arrived 
at this usage from the documentation.

Can anyone help me reverse-engineer this historical phenomenon? And, 
given that the documentation doesn't support it particularly, is it 
still an encouraged practice? Or should one use #!defined constants 
instead, as in the stock config?

Thanks,

-- Alex
