Yup, that looks like that would cover exposing the values I need. I was originally thinking pulling them from the backend, but I guess this way it's independent of the backend implementation (and it's not like the values will change). I'll keep an eye on those pull requests and plan that part of my code to adopt them once they're in a release.
