Fair enough. However, if such a thing were added how would one specify
the range of the value (which seems necessary for the pressure to have
any meaning whatsoever)? It seems odd that the distinctions of
absolute/relative and bounded/unbounded values are conflated in the
event interface. It's not clear to me what input_set_abs_params isn't
instead input_set_params.
