I don't have any significant comments about this patch in particular,
but just noticed that you need to do read-backs here (and the typo
thanks to the spell checker of my mailing app). Maybe you should
consider switching to the .configure() API I introduced in my series?
This would let you get rid of the hardcoded static mapping.

Best regards,
Tomasz
