From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   hidden flag n.   [scientific computation] An extra option added
   to a routine without changing the calling sequence.   For example,
   instead of adding an explicit input variable to instruct a routine
   to give extra diagnostic output, the programmer might just add a
   test for some otherwise meaningless feature of the existing inputs,
   such as a negative mass.   The use of hidden flags can make a program
   very hard to debug and understand, but is all too common wherever
   programs are hacked on in a hurry.
