Can we please add TYPE_* constants for these two too?

Hmmm... why are we not using symbolic constants for commands?  If it's
because of horizontal real estate, we can abbreviate
sgio_bitmap_set(), no?  Also, wouldn't it be better to have ALL
instead of -1?  Also, the custom formatting is nice but can we at
least not use //?

One other thing is I would much prefer if the table was made static
const first.  As we only allow compile-time defined tables, there's no
point in dynamically initializing these and the above can be static
initializers.

Thanks.
