+      str	        String representation (see below)
+      length            Length of the above

+      set_warning  OUT  TRUE <=> Some string in set couldn't be used
+
+  DESCRIPTION
+    Parse a set of flag assignments, that is, parse a string in form:
+
+      param_name1=value1,param_name2=value2,... 
+    
+    where the names are specified in the TYPELIB, and each value can be
+    either 'on','off', or 'default'. Besides param=val assignments, we
+    support "default" keyword (keyword #default_name in the typelib) which
+    means assign everything the default.
