I guess I'm thinking out loud too much :-)

Moving to the (band,adjustment) struct thing, like we have it in the
BSS select now, would be good I think - instead of the single value
that has the band hardcoded in the name. It's fairly useless with just
two bands since you can adjust one or the other to achieve the same
result, but for consistency it'd be good.

And then doing a match attribute we more or less discarded here, so
conceptually nothing else really changes.
