Actually, I think you can just do something like the below. I don't
think we need to separately handle an optional #.*-cells and a
required one. It's really just validation which we do already both
with the tools and when the subsystems parse these bindings. Of
course, if we need to handle cases other than 0 default cells, we'll
have to restructure the define some to pass the default cells.
