My hope is that these docs could be what we point to for questions like these about why it doesn't work.

In my draft I avoided being too concrete about which flags are "runtime behavior" vs compile time, because I don't really want to have to maintain a detailed description of VM implementation details here. I don't know if that leaves things too vague to be useful though?

Another issue with confusion about the behavior:

dart-lang/sdk#45835

In this case the --enable-experiment used to work because we only had the behavior of --use-data-isolate-strategy. After adding support for the frontend server the default behavior changed, and the new default behavior doesn't support experiment args for VM tests at all.
