I paste your comments here

"What I suggested is different, it is more permissive than what you have
or what Rob suggested. Your original one allows
"rx", "tx" OR "rx" OR "tx"
Rob's allows the same but with a nicer syntax. What that stm binding I
mentioned allows is
"rx", "tx" OR "tx", "rx" OR "rx" OR "tx"
"

Actually:

"rx", "tx" OR "tx", "rx" OR "rx" OR "tx" is exactly what we want.

"rx", "tx" OR "rx" OR "tx" is only feasible, but not perfect. Why need
limited "rx" and "tx" order? It just bring us some noise and no actual
value to do that.
