They ARE implemented, just not as I had thought they would be. The are on the list of possible name-value pairs that can be added to the SFX board, just like any value from the robot.
That is one of the reasons we moved to this new architecture, as now any value can be used even if its inside what is supposed to be a control. So yes, they will work like that raw.

That being said, it is planned to add a widget sort of thing for them eventually, but as you can see, its not entirely necessary for using them. Thus, they are not "implemented" yet, its just the default exposure of all properties in a value tree.
