<pre>Let me summarize:
Automerge is good thing for performance, but it must be controllable, because
sometimes it can break things.
Anonymous sets:
- they already behave like they would have hidden interval and automerge flags,
so it would be probably easy to let these flags are added in rule parsing
Named sets:
- please disable automerge by default and make it explicit as is interval flag
- the only exception to this could be sets with constant flag, but I would
leave it explicit even in this case
Optionally:
- for consistency with rule listing (and parsing by external program) make
flags in anonymous sets explicit, but it would probably require more work and
it is not something really needed, because people always can use named set, so
I am voting against it</pre>
