Hmm. Honestly, I'm very unsure about it. ROI::SET_CUR can be a very
hot path, depending on what user-space considers to be of interest
and how frequently that object of interest changes its position/shape/etc.
Doing GET_CUR after every SET_CUR doubles the number of firmware calls
we issue, that's for sure; is it worth it - that's something that I'm
not sure of.

May I please ask for more opinions on this?
