Nice! Seems to have all the bases covered. For consistency, I'd swap the
latter values (although I doubt complement will have much use):
00 : global conf is used
01 : complement global conf
10 : Timestamps OFF for this route
11 : Timestamps ON for this route
And the documentation should make it clear that global 10 and 11 override
per route 10 and 11.
