Hmmm, what about exporting an actual clock? Maybe it's overkill but from a
correctness point of view, seems what we should actually do :)

Hmm interesting approach. I don't dislike it. Kind of a generic getter/setter thingy.
We could then still have optional inline helpers that would call the generic
functions with the proper enum value.

If we don't get too strict about types it could even fall into the above u8 category.

Instead of lot of new simple ops we just grow an enum.
