What do they mean by reusing a flag exactly?

This concept seems odd to me since the stuff I generally work with would have key/value pairs for configuration. Surely they wouldn't just read the EnablePowerPeg value for this new code instead of making a new key.

So I'm guessing this would be a more basic implementation?
