    The CIMFlavor class represents the DMTF standard CIM qualifier flavor
    definition, which encapsulates the propagation and override rules for
    qualifiers.  The propagation rules define whether a qualifier may be
    propagated from classes to derived classes or from classes to instances.
    The override rules define whether a derived class may override a
    qualifier value.

    A CIMFlavor contains one or more of these values: OVERRIDABLE,
    TOSUBCLASS, TOINSTANCE, TRANSLATABLE, DISABLEOVERRIDE, ENABLEOVERRIDE,
