+
+ Stage API:
+ ---------
+
+ stage requires compliance with a strict API that may be
+ implemented in several means, including as a static class.
+
+ Stages do not HOLD data, and they definitely do not contain
+ signalling (ready/valid). They do however specify the FORMAT
+ of the incoming and outgoing data, and they provide a means to
+ PROCESS that data (from incoming format to outgoing format).
+
+ Stage Blocks really must be combinatorial blocks. It would be ok
+ to have input come in from sync'd sources (clock-driven) however by
+ doing so they would no longer be deterministic, and chaining such
+ blocks with such side-effects together could result in unexpected,
+ unpredictable, unreproduceable behaviour.
+ So generally to be avoided, then unless you know what you are doing.
+
+ the methods of a stage instance must be as follows:
+
+ * ispec() - Input data format specification. Takes a bit of explaining.
+ The requirements are: something that eventually derives from
+ nmigen Value must be returned *OR* an iterator or iterable
+ or sequence (list, tuple etc.) or generator must *yield*
+ thing(s) that (eventually) derive from the nmigen Value class.
+
+ Complex to state, very simple in practice:
+ see test_buf_pipe.py for over 25 worked examples.
+
+ * ospec() - Output data format specification.
+ format requirements identical to ispec.
+
+ * process(m, i) - Optional function for processing ispec-formatted data.
+ returns a combinatorial block of a result that
+ may be assigned to the output, by way of the "nmoperator.eq"
+ function. Note that what is returned here can be
+ extremely flexible. Even a dictionary can be returned
+ as long as it has fields that match precisely with the
+ Record into which its values is intended to be assigned.
+ Again: see example unit tests for details.
+
+ * setup(m, i) - Optional function for setting up submodules.
+ may be used for more complex stages, to link
+ the input (i) to submodules. must take responsibility
+ for adding those submodules to the module (m).
+ the submodules must be combinatorial blocks and
+ must have their inputs and output linked combinatorially.
+
+ Both StageCls (for use with non-static classes) and Stage (for use
+ by static classes) are abstract classes from which, for convenience
+ and as a courtesy to other developers, anything conforming to the
+ Stage API may *choose* to derive. See Liskov Substitution Principle:
+ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liskov_substitution_principle
+
+ StageChain:
+ ----------
+
+ A useful combinatorial wrapper around stages that chains them together
+ and then presents a Stage-API-conformant interface. By presenting
+ the same API as the stages it wraps, it can clearly be used recursively.
+
+ StageHelper:
+ ----------
+
+ A convenience wrapper around a Stage-API-compliant "thing" which
+ complies with the Stage API and provides mandatory versions of
+ all the optional bits.
