@requires semantics for VM flags

Hi,
Can you clarify the intended semantics for @requires when referencing a
VM flag. It seems the current behaviour is:
@requires foo -> foo must exist and == true
@requires !foo -> foo must exist and == false
@requires foo == true -> IF foo exists then it == true
@requires foo == false -> IF foo exists then it == false
I would have naively expected:
@requires foo
and
@requires foo == true
to be semantically identical?
Follow up question: if there are multiple @requires are they evaluated
using short-circuit logic ie:
@requires vm.bits == 64
@requires VMFlagOnlyFor64Bits
will not look for the flag if running on a 32-bit system?
Thanks,
David
