Yeah, we'll still end up with a mix of defines and raw numbers.

I tend to prefer raw numbers for this sort of stuff. If we didn't have
the intermediate rates I might have a different opinion. The only thing
I really worry about with raw numbers is the potential for typos.

The original problem of bspec talking about hbr2 in the bug trans
tables we could probably solve with a comment.
