Why do I get the feeling that you didn't read the manual? ;)
a) these if-blocks already exist
b) there is no problem mixing them (unless there is some bug), because
   if you look at the corresponding endif it says ###ENDIF:COPY###,
   ###ENDIF:LOCK### -- no problems with a simple straight-forward regexp.

I cannot see a difference between the case of 2 or 3 or 100 flags.
Could you give an example?

You do have a point there. And maybe this would be the more logical way.
Unfortunately, I didn't give this option much thought when I had to deal 
with the problem at hand and thus IF and later IF-blocks creeped in. I feel 
guilty and ashamed. I start to like this IF-less idea more and more. Maybe 
we should migrate? I don't know - it's not such an urgent problem.
