I believe that's the Emacs argument, yes. In
particular, I believe it's Stefan's argument - dunno
whether it is in some way "official".
What I was saying was the _I_ use suffix `-flag' for
an option and suffix `-p' (or `p') for a non-option
variable. That makes things very clear (to me).
Add `-flag' to any of the names considered above,
and the ambiguity and lack of clarity is diminished,
if not dispelled altogether.
And suffix `-flag' is not "disallowed", AFAIK. Of
course, Isearch already has other boolean options
that do not use such a suffix.
