    SINGLE_DISABLE_VALUE,

    // The feature has multiple values only one of which is ever enabled.
    // The first of the values should correspond to a deactivated state for this
    // feature (i.e. no command line option). For MULTI_VALUE entries, the
    // command_line of the FeatureEntry is not used. If the experiment is
    // enabled the command line of the selected Choice is enabled.

    // The feature has three possible values: Default, Enabled and Disabled.
    // This allows the Default group to have its own logic to determine if the

    // well as the ability enable/disable via run server-side experiments.
