I noticed the problem while adding code for the (proposed) new F_NEG_DRY flag,
and doing so in a language where uints are easier to deal with than bits.
But ignoring (or throwing an error) for unknown flags doesn't seem hard in
either case.

At the moment it's an error in my code which I can fix in a few minutes.
I'm happy to do so, and leave the CDDL unchanged. I really don't have strong
feelings, just want input.
