None that I know of. My point was that software wise it may be less
surprising to the programmer if "flag" is replicated as is when
calling ft260_i2c_write. For example, calling it with FT260_FLAG_STOP
only sends a START, no STOP. I agree that it isn't currently called
that way and that it may never be.

Agreed.
