That is what it is though, so I don't see what's weird about that.

Ohh I know, but I didn't see the point adding those when I was only
focusing on a single implementation.

I don't see that it can become that simple, it'd still need to be
prefixed with SBI_ to be consistent with any other SBI related enum, and
at that point adding the extra IMP_ makes little odds.
