It's generally discouraged to use flags to make a function do 2
different operations. Splitting it will naturally happen though with my
next comment.

This is now called just before unflattening. Why can't it be done right
after unflattening instead. Then we can use the unflattened API rather
than the flatten API which is less efficient.
