// Instead of having each definition provide a flatten method,

// When that config is set, we mark the relevant flatOption fields
// dirty.  Then, a getter for that field defines how we actually
// set it.
//
// So, `save-dev`, `save-optional`, `save-prod`, et al would indicate
// that they affect the `saveType` flat option.  Then the config.flat
// object has a `get saveType () { ... }` that looks at the "real"
// config settings from files etc and returns the appropriate value.
//
// Getters will also (maybe?) give us a hook to audit flat option
// usage, so we can document and group these more appropriately.
//
// This will be a problem with cases where we currently do:
// const opts = { ...npm.flatOptions, foo: 'bar' }, but we can maybe
// instead do `npm.config.set('foo', 'bar')` prior to passing the
// config object down where it needs to go.
//
// This way, when we go hunting for "where does saveType come from anyway!?"
// while fixing some Arborist bug, we won't have to hunt through too
// many places.

// XXX: We should really deprecate all these `--save-blah` switches
// in favor of a single `--save-type` option.  The unfortunate shortcut
// we took for `--save-peer --save-optional` being `--save-type=peerOptional`
// makes this tricky, and likely a breaking change.

// Define all config keys we know about.  They are indexed by their own key for
// ease of lookup later.  This duplication is an optimization so that we don't
// have to do an extra function call just to "reuse" the key in both places.
