But there can be a delay between reporting and reprogramming, and if
during that time a new event could be reported? I guess it doesn't
matter much if we assume that upon reprogramming the driver will always
report a new event if the current value falls outside the new range
(either high or low)... it just seemed a little bit more consistent to
unconditionally report a new event at the beginning, even if that new
event is "yup - falling into the middle of your range now".
