Couldn't hurt. Done.

... except that I'm trying to guarantee that only the values '1' or '0'
get sent to gpio_direction_output. There's nothing in the spec that
says other values are legal, although I'll admit that any nonzero value
is unlikely to cause problems. Should I be pedantic here?

Good catch!

Ditto.

Ok. Now that the code is relatively mature, they're unnecessary anyway.
