++ FLAGS
++ -----
++
++Flags are, syntactically, just like actions; their semantical value is different however.
++Instead of doing something, they instead change the general behavior of the processing
++of the given rule.
++
++Note that for flags to work, you also have to invoke it with --override.
++
++Currently, only one flag is implemented:
++
++ * nothrottle
++ 	Forcibly overrides hotplug2 throttling mechanism. If _all_ rules that match
++	the given kernel event have 'nothrottle' set, hotplug2 will not wait for
++	children count to get under max-children limit. That allows to throttle
++	eg. helper application execution or modprobes, but yet keep node devices
++	fast.
