Ugh. Perhaps it would be simpler to have a wrapper function HTSV() macro which
passes flexible=true to HTSV_internal(). Then vacuum can call HTSV_internal().

I'm not sure what the performance tradeoff is between having an extra argument
to HTSV and having HTSV check a global which messes with optimizations.
