"External-ize" Modules #189

Open dan-fritchman opened 9 months ago

dan-fritchman commented 9 months ago

The problem:

A circuit is principally defined in Hdl21
We then, somehow, get some other legacy-language representation of it (e.g. from a layout-extraction)
It'd be nice to reuse related collateral, e.g. simulation testbenches
... But, ExternalModule ports are ordered (as per most legacy-languages); h.Module's are not.
So, at least for now, we can't.

I think this is just about the port order? Maybe there's some other feature of Module that would need exporting.
