I'd go for a more namespace-like approach:

# Nagios: use_epn
vs.
# Nagios: no_epn

also, it'd be nicer maybe to use more similar positive/negative
flags, for example +epn/-epn.

So, in all:

# Nagios: +epn
vs.
# Nagios: -epn

In the future, one could add more execution hints like this:

# Nagios: -epn,+foo,-multithreaded,+volatile

Just my loose change ;)

Tobias
