Subject[PATCH 16/16] dyndbg: allow negating flag-chars in modflags
Date
Extend flags modifications to allow [PFMLTU] negating flags.
This allows control-queries like:

#> Q () { echo file inode.c $* > control } # to type less
#> Q -P # same as +p
#> Q +U # same as -u
#> Q u-P # same as u+p

This allows flags in a callsite to be simultaneously set and cleared,
while still starting with the current flagstate (with +- ops).
Generally, you chose -p or +p 1st, then set or clear flags
accordingly.

Flagsets cannot contain ``pP`` etc, a flag cannot be true and false.

-modflags containing upper-case flags is reserved/undefined for now.
-inverted-flags are currently ignored, usage gets trickier if given
-``-pXy``, it should leave x set.
+modflags may contain upper-case flags also, using these lets you
+invert the flag setting implied by the OP; '-pU' means disable
+printing, and mark that callsite with the user-flag to create a group,
+for optional further manipulation. Generally, '+p' and '-p' is your
+main choice, and use of negating flags in modflags is rare.
