Since getting the value out when the source!=default is exactly the point
for the applications I was talking about, I'll rewrite the patch to expose
the reset_val as well and resubmit shortly.
Thanks for the feedback, your comments helped clarify the use-case for
reset_val a bit better for me and I'll be sure to document the two columns
appropriately. One perspective I don't get to see very often is that of a
regular user adjusting their settings.
