You may know that theres some arguments to cast for one-time adjustments
to compile flags. These are --cflags, --cxxflags, --ldflags, and
--no-opts. A bug [0] has recently come in suggesting that all of those
options, similar to '-r', imply the -c (force recompile, dont resurrect)
option.

What do people think? Worthwhile? Most people thought having -r imply
-c was a good idea so I think this would be too. Otherwise the options
are meaningless and give a false sense of them doing something.

Just to point out the other side of the argument, one could say (and
document) that the arguments only bear meaning when you are compiling
something. You may cast a slew of things, and for those spells that
cannot be resurrected, the additional cflags are used, for the resurrects
they're ignored.  A cast without -c can consist of a mix of resurrects
and compiles.

I really could go either way on this, I would like to get the opinion
of the userbase on this issue. Feel free to discuss here or in the
bug itself.
