Just curious, but how is it used?  What do 250, 420 etc actually refer to?

Comment down at the example.

Very long line.

Would we be better off putting the io-channels entry directly in the child
and lose the indirection? Would make the driver a bit more fiddly perhaps
but give a more elegant binding by dropping one level of indirection
/repetition.
