Description

Some combinations of flags make no sense, eg Lazy | Label. It would be nice to Ycheck that we don't have invalid combinations of flags.

This task is hard, because it's open-ended as we do not currently have a spec of what combinations are valid and what are not.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing flag handling in the Scala 3 compiler to identify all flags and their intended use, then propose a specification for valid combinations.
