What do you mean by "reader"? If you mean the QMP client that needs this
information, then I can't think of anything more simple than a single list
of booleans with descriptive names to process. If you mean that the
expected use cases don't care about all those variants, then you don't
need to worry about that. Only the ones compiled in will be in the list.
The expected use cases will never see the other ones.
