Should have removed this in #6184 but "flags" is hard to search for in BCD.
See the "flags" row on https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace#Browser_compatibility
This non-standard feature isn't actually described on the page anymore and it is more confusing than helpful at this point.
Qualifies as irrelevant feature: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/blob/master/docs/data-guidelines.md#removal-of-irrelevant-features
