the function value.  This avoids:

  PCI-MIO-16E-4 Devices Only) You can connect each DAC to the device
  internal reference of 10 V or to the external reference signal
  connected to the external reference (AO EXT REF) pin on the I/O
  connector. This signal applied to EXT REF should be within
  ±11 V. You do not need to configure both channels for the same mode.

So RF_EXTERNAL is a valid unit (i.e. in units of the AO EXT REF
signal).  The next commit will add this unit.

confusion if the mutable is changed externally.  It then compares the
deepcopies with uncopied values.  Now that deepcopying works for
_NamedInts, the h5config behavior will work.
