Comment:

 Doesn't work for me:

 {{{
 flag foo
   default: false
 }}}

 gives

 {{{
 $ cabal configure
 cabal: Foo.cabal:28: Parse of field 'default' failed:
 }}}

 And this makes sense given the parser being used:
 {{{
     , simpleField "default"
         (text . show)    parseReadS
         flagDefault      (\val fl -> fl{ flagDefault = val })
 }}}

 `parseReadS` just uses `read` so is case sensitive. The `buildable` field
 also uses `parseReadS` as a parser.

 I think we have the same problem for other enumerations like `build-type`,
 `tested-with`, `license` and `extensions` though it's not so clear in
 those cases if it should be case sensitive or not.
