For me at least i-g-t is always around so if a small tool is needed
to make the read/write a single register case easy, I'm fine with
that. We anyway need tools to read/write everything else, so I don't
see a big difference here. But if other people would prefer something
that doesn't need a specific tool I won't object to it either.
