Yes, this is the only way.

Robert,

Your point is very correct....
If we use DOT, then we still can future use quotes...

With underscores we get:

        EVOnDelete_kCascade

        "EVFlag_fIndexed + EVFlag_fUnique"

        "fIndexed + fUnique"
                
Well, also acceptable...

Ivan, you have implement  "+"  for flags ?
Not coma ?
