I am thinking on a usecase where both voltages need to be set at the
same time or on sync with an external event.
This is how our board was designed 6 years ago: http://ge.tt/28oRQCu2

But, up to date no one is using it that way :).

All that said, the only change to support that usecase is to use the
_optional() function, that does not affect the
readability of the code. But if it is a showstopper for you I will
remove it and make the gpio "mandatory"

Thanks and best regatrds!
