Hello Rusty, thankyou for your feedback.
I plan to make V2 tomorrow (it was planned much earlier).

Yes, but we have long names and I wanted to avoid splitting lines.
I can make it ENTRY().

Yes and no. Actually, I expect several new buses to appear over time,
and being separate files they can even be conditionally compiled based
on config.

I see. I'm submitting two patches anyways, but you can pick one only.

Thanks
