Don't try this at home, folks.  A number of standard IIC devices may not
work this way, or may even get damaged.  The IIC bus is specified with a
maximum sink current of 3mA on each line.  If you're going to recommend
something like this, please point out that you are only using IIC protocol,
not true IIC.  I assume you are using your own line drivers and not
connecting off the shelf IIC devices to the bus, right?
