> Thanks for reviewing, Kim. Is your suggestion to not have a JVMFlag object for develop flags in PRODUCT builds? Presumably to save some footprint? I'm not sure we would win fighting the macros to accomplish this.

Yes, that's the suggestion and the rationale for it.  It should also remove the need for is_constant_in_binary.  I don't
know how hard it would actually be to accomplish this.  I agree it might not be worth the effort, but we won't know
until someone looks, which I haven't done.  It might even be easy.
