The existing REWIND flag tells subnodes whether they should *optimize*
for getting rewound or not.  I don't recall right now (well past
midnight) why that seemed like a useful definition, but if you grep for
places that are paying attention to that flag, I'm sure you'll find out.

We probably don't want to give up that distinction --- if it had been
equally good to define the flag as a hard yes-or-no, I'm sure we would
have taken that definition, because it's simpler.
