When a literal is used on the left-hand side of a numeric operator,
Python is able to constant-fold some expressions:
>>> dis.dis(lambda x: 0 + 0 + x)
1 0 LOAD_CONST 1 (0)
2 LOAD_FAST 0 (x)
4 BINARY_ADD
6 RETURN_VALUE
If a literal is used on the right-hand side such that the left-hand
side is variable, this doesn't happen:
>>> dis.dis(lambda x: x + 0 + 0)
1 0 LOAD_FAST 0 (x)
2 LOAD_CONST 1 (0)
4 BINARY_ADD
6 LOAD_CONST 1 (0)
8 BINARY_ADD
10 RETURN_VALUE
PyRTL generates fairly redundant code due to the pervasive masking,
and because of that, transforming expressions into the former form,
where possible, improves runtime by about 10% on Minerva SRAM SoC.
Before this commit, ArrayProxy would add sign padding (an extra bit)
a homogeneous array of signed values, or an array where all unsigned
values are smaller than the largest signed one. After this commit,
ArrayProxy would only add padding in arrays with mixed signedness
where all signed values are smaller or equal in size to the largest
unsigned value.
Fixes#476.

When a port component is skipped, it should appear neither in the RTL
nor in the constraint file. However, passing around components of
differential ports explicitly makes that harder.
Fixes#456.
Supersedes #457.

The parameter defaults to "ULTRASCALE", even when synthesizing for
7-series devices. This could lead to a simulation/synthesis mismatch,
and causes a warning.
Fixes#438.
This was added in commit bfd4538d based on a misunderstanding of how
Xilinx part numbers work.
* non-ultrascale 7-series parts don't have temperature grades;
* ultrascale parts have temperature grade as a part of speed grade.
This commit also fixes an issue introduced in 2606ee33 that regressed
simulator startup time and bloated VCD files. (It's actually about
10% faster now than *before* the regression was introduced.)
Compiled process names were never particularly useful (comments in
the source would make more sense for debugging), and coroutine
process names were actually source locations.
