FOUT outputs a 1, 1024 or 32768Hz square wave. We need to track the
current state of the wave so we know what the next state should be.

I'm still not seeing your point, we are operating on raw binary data,
not a numeric. It is clearly defined as binary data in the datasheet,
and I consider hex/oct/bin notation to be the most appropriate for it
(even the datasheet authors use it). Yes, I understand that masks are
one type of binary information that is suitably represented by it, my
argument is that the use case is wider than you are asserting.

I've updated the comment to clarify the behaviour.

I don't think we are going to reach alignment here, but it's a pretty
minor point.
