I think it does make sense to expand them to be more readable. Also, the textual representation doesn't have to precisely follow the internal names. What about:
nnan : no nans
ninf : no infs
nsz : no signed zeros
ar: allow reciprocal
fast : unsafe algebra (and implicitly all the others)

I'll get started on documentation.
