That's why I suggested relegating the switches or jumpers to an external tool, and minimizing the on-board logic to the bare capability to interrogate an off-board tool for binary data.  Then we don't have to guess at what finite number of modes might be required, we can just give the system integrator or end user access to the raw bits in the registers.  Only the people who want the external tool pay for it, and then they get unhindered flexibility.

Ok, so perhaps we should design and sell an additional device that
let's one program these sorts of things.

What would the device be like?

The hardware ought to be inexpensive, but the volumes would be very
low.  How much should it cost to the end user?
