While this subtlety is *maybe* ok, a comment about it belongs in the
*code* where it will be seen when the next person makes changes.

But why not extend the struct with the initial state? How many of
these muxes do you expect to exist in a system? Multiplied by a
couple of bytes. Who cares?

Cheers,
