Yes, it handles that ... but where does the power budget
come from?  That's what I meant by "more involved".

As in, the host/supplying side of the power equation can't
be event driven like the peripheral/consuming side can.

And that's another reason I think it's best to fully solve
the common (peripheral, recharge-that-batter) case first.
