Or pt_cap_get could use a switch statement in pt_cap_get and make it
__always_inline. The argument is always a constant except for pt_cap_show.

What you say is also a possibility though. Are you okay with adding a
PT_CAP_first_unused at the end of enum pt_capabilities, so that the
array can be sized?

Thanks,
