I wonder whether a name like verde_gow[123] wouldn't make more sense. I
think most people wouldn't be able to associate something with "gow",
and it doesn't look like a good keyword for searches either.

Also, is gow1 so different that implementing it in the same driver with
gow[23] would be impossible?
