We didn't actually resolve that way, at least not to my memory.  We
wanted to do something other than a bare ident, because it seems
relatively likely that this is a property we'd like to later add more
controls to, such as default flows or additional options, that may end
up being ambiguous with user-defined flow names.  Strings or a flow()
function, though, are both equally okay.
