I don't have a use-case for anything else than sys_val, so yes I think I
should be able to simplify. I'll try that for v3.

Good point, that would be nice indeed. Can I use that from outside an
__init function? If not, I'll need to rework the code a bit more, but
that should be simple enough either way.

Will do.
