Distribution.Simple.Flag

All flags are monoids, they come in two flavours:

1. list flags eg

--ghc-option=foo --ghc-option=bar

gives us all the values ["foo", "bar"]

2. singular value flags, eg:

--enable-foo --disable-foo

gives us Just False

So, this Flag type is for the latter singular kind of flag. Its monoid instance gives us the behaviour where it starts out as NoFlag and later flags override earlier ones.
