We might need some equivalent in other modules as well in the future -
do you think we should move it to the root of the driver, and explain
its purpose with a comment?

I am also thinking that we might want to turn this into a derive macro
in the future, similar to `FromPrimitive` - so maybe a TODO item is
warranted for this. I haven't looked closely at the `FromPrimitive`
patchset yet but it would be neat if we could leverage it somehow.
