You never explained your use case. This makes some sense now. I don't
quite see how it's documenting your session when you remove the 10
pages of warnings that would have been asked when you rerun the
session. But that's ok. I don't need to understand that.

Unfortunately, unless someone else has made such a list, I think the
only way is to read the docs to find all the flags or to read the code
to find them.

There are lots of flags; I can't remember them all. float2bf is
another. I don't think you can turn off the message from solve about
using arctrig functions.
