Said another way: you're saying that you'd expect the "max-microamps"
table to have one fewer element than the listed modes?  So in the
above example you'd have:

drms-modes: LPM, HPM
max-microamps: 10000

...or in a more complicated case, you could have:

drms-modes: RET, LPM, AUTO, HPM
max-microamps: 1, 100, 10000


Did I understand you correctly?

I'm personally OK with that color for the shed.  I kinda like the
symmetry of having the same number of elements in both lists (and
being able to print an error message if someone ends up asking for too
much current), but it's not a big deal for me either way.
