I'm not a big fan of the API here, particularly using operator* to
handle asserting the mode exists.  I'd prefer to just use a member
function rather than overloading operator*.

What's the rationale behind using operator* to imply the assertion?

THe changes themsleves look fine, it's really just a question of the API
we present.
