Yes the idea is that it should stay generic. I don't know
how easy or hard it would be to enhance it to support
also other type mux cases, like multiple mux registers per

Well I'd like to test it a bit more first as I've only
done minimal testing so far. So maybe let's assume there
will be one more iteration at least.
