Hmmm, I could extract that as a separate change ... and then use it in
the 802.11ax changes. Not sure if it is worth the effort.

I will probably change things a bit though to better conform with
IEEE80211-2016 (and the 802.11ax do not change things in regard to
what I am thinking of). That is because 802.11-2016 (and probably
earlier) do mention BlockAckReqs and BlockAcks, and do not mention
responses, and also insert BAR and BA in places, so it will probably
be better to conform to the spec. There is a relatively easy to do
that, I believe.
