Say true/false instead of 1/zero.

This makes me a little confused. This is a mapping/conversion function:
class name -> type flags
I'd expect the function to recognize the name, and return a valid flag
(thus return true), or not recognize the name, and return false.
What would "even if no flags are set" mean? What's the use case for that?
Recognizing a class name, but having that map to no flags? As in,
ignoring the class name? Is that useful?
