Yeah, dumb (i.e. non-standard) use of CC would have to be preserved,
especially to/from hardware.

Within Jackville, it's easy enough to specify: events must be bundled
iff they are actually intended to be a high-res controller.  Otherwise
they, by definition, are not part of one.

Like Tim R. said though, there's probably no magic way to deal with this
for driver input, which is unfortunate[1]

(For output it's a non-issue since they'd be delivered as discrete
events regardless)
