flag_name infers the string which one would pass on the command line. It is not the same as the raw name field, which additionally encodes num_occurrences and requires_arg (sort of).

val num_occurrences : t -> Num_occurrences.t Or_error.t
val requires_arg : t -> Base.Bool.t Or_error.t

requires_arg gives undefined behavior on escape flags. This is a limitation of the underlying shape representation.

val bin_write_t : t Bin_prot.Write.writer
val bin_read_t : t Bin_prot.Read.reader
val __bin_read_t__ : (int -> t) Bin_prot.Read.reader

This function only needs implementation if t exposed to be a polymorphic variant. Despite what the type reads, this does *not* produce a function after reading; instead it takes the constructor tag (int) before reading and reads the rest of the variant t afterwards.
