    Set some flags with special meaning for the token.
  `parent TOKEN`::
-   Hierarchical dependency, it ensures all token with a parent gets silently undefined if the parent is undefined. This prevents options enabled by default to stay enabled if the parent is disabled; this way it avoids errors due to unneeded requirements. This is also used to hide irrelevant tokens from the help screen if the parent token is undefined. Tokens with no parent must have the `root` flag set.

  `default value`::
    Set the token default value. `defined` and `undefined` values act as booleans. default value is `undefined` if this line is omitted.
