You could even do:

#(define-public (my-flag grob)
  ((straight-flag 0.4 1 -70 3 -70 3) grob))

{
  \override Flag.stencil = #my-flag
  a'8
  b'
}
%% or
{
  \override Flag.stencil =
    #(lambda (grob) ((straight-flag 0.4 1 -70 3 0 3) grob))
  a'8
  b'
}

Yep, for this 'straight-flag' from flag-styles needs to be changed.
It will be part of my patch, I hope.
