Yes, that's what I meant. But now we have 3 hf_'s, an optional val_string and
requisite code to display 4 strings and an unknown. The unknown itself could
have variations. That seems like a lot of code addition for a simple problem.

If I can use VALS() to display a string equivalent for a bitmask, surely the
option to use a custom string instead is not too much to ask ?
