Is this something that would be better as a header flag?

I do not agree with creating an enum for something that has only 2 states.
I would prefer to see a flag used. But other than that, looks good to me.

@dsiganos I don't understand how enum conflicts with using flags? IMHO it's much better code style to define you flags as an enum (in contrast to defining const ints, C style). One of the first links I found on the internet you might want to check out, specifically the section on std::bitset https://m-peko.github.io/craft-cpp/posts/different-ways-to-define-binary-flags/

@pwojcikdev This is mostly stylistic disagreement so no big deal if we go one way or another.
I come from a traditional C background so uint8 with masks, seems perfectly natural to me.
For me, the fact that the enum has more than 2 states causes an unwanted complication.
But, this is just a stylistic disagreement, so it doesn't really matter.
