I'm afraid I'd forgotten this completely if you can dig out some links
to that discussion it would be great. Only one I can find right now
is a request that you post an ABI introducing this as a generic pulse
counter rather than a speed measurement.

Good point though - under my previous sketched outline, perhaps

in_waveform_cyclecount_input?  (I would imagine that it doesn't come
out needing scaling!)
