I see. That makes sense. Do you expect to see R3 or even R4 in the future?
Or put another way, do you expect to see resistor values of 150 or 200
supported?

Maybe we could reserve 200 and start from 201 for the RSEL macros?

Some planning needs to be done here to avoid value clashes.

With decimal numbers you end up wasting a bit more space, since the
hardware is always using binary values. I just found it odd, that's
all.
