You might consider defining @interop so that it takes a list of a list 
of integers.
Each list is actually a rule how to break up single bjam parameter to
python parameters. This would be general enough for 'flags' rule too.

E.g.

for 'feature' - @interop( [[1],[1],[0]] )
for 'flags' - @interop( [[1,1,0],...] )

of course - with special handling for 0 meaning 'take everything that is 
left'.

I played around in python and created a working example (attached).
