Naming/numbering mean the same thing to me; I have to pass a number to
gpio_request/gpio_set_value, either by hard-coded number or name (i.e. #define
referring to some number).

I'll go read up on gpiolib some more to see how those API-level numbers get
mapped to a specific controller and GPIO number.
