The thing is, if you start introducing the config/type i/f, we will
stick with it for a long time. I want to avoid this from the
beginning.

Using an id only would work with your current implementation too, you
only need to maintain an id -> config/type mapping, maybe in some
private data section, without exporting it to userspace.
