I struggled a bit with this definition.  Once I got it working it ended up producing
an overly complex control bank algorithm.

I will take a look at implementing the suggestion but the complication comes in the
numerous DT configurations we could encounter.  Part of the issue is that the user
can connect to CTRL bank b only or CTRL bank a only or a combination of that
