Could it make sense to provide a very short definition of the flags (I may be off in terms of the actual semantics):

Valid options include 'inbounds' (pointer arithmetic must be within object bounds),
'nsw' (no signed wrap), and 'nuw' (no unsigned wrap). The flags can be set individually or in combination.
