True, but just to avoid possibly misleading anyone: there is almost
nothing in common between two-wire protocols like I-squared-C and the
One-Wire protocol from Dallas. The latter is highly timing-sensitive,
as well as requiring a bidirectional pin, or one input plus one
open-collector output pin. Tricky stuff.
