I think it used to be there, but I demoted it to:
@item @dots{}-flag
The value is significant only as to whether it is @code{nil} or not.
Since such variables often end up acquiring more values over time,
this convention is not strongly recommended.
in variables.texi.
In my experience, using FOO instead of FOO-flag is a better choice.
Also, many boolean config variables can be introduced as minor modes
(in which case their name should end in "-mode").
