I could, and it would work for glitches on release, but that would do
very bad things if switch glitched on press, right?

"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XX           " ->
"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX              " ... ok

"XX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX..." ->
"XX                                  ..." ... bad idea. [Maybe could be
detected with "XX " being unusually short?]

But I believe I see 

"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" on X220 device, too.
