tbaMUD Continued development of the CircleMUD core

What's the reason this flag was added (sometime post-Circle 3.1)? Couldn't find any specific reference to it in the changelog.

Hmmm, searching the history it looks like it was part of the 128 bit patch, is that right?

The dontuse is due to the associated array in constants.c, I'm not sure why they did it this way.

I'm stuck trying to think of a reason.

Seems to just add complexity to me (such as asciiflag_conv_aff - although that in itself may be a sign of a momentary lack of clear thinking, since it's both broken for numeric fields in the worldfile and would be more trivially replaced by just using asciiflag_conf and a left shift by 1).

If I had to guess, it had some effect in the code that the 128 patch was sourced from, but that didn't apply when it was pulled into TBA?
