It turns out that since you can make Flags out of an enum that isn't a
class, maybe this isn't even necessary? I just noticed in the
generated_serializer test (next patch) I forgot to put [Flags] in the
enum definition but in the [TEST] patch (at the end of the series) I
did.

Not sure which is better.
