I think this could a be a really powerful technique. I'm going to have a
play with it now - looking at e.g. auto loop unrolling.

There is potentially a really neat tool flow here:

Python -> High level translation library -> convertible code -> V*

Currently, the convertible code has to be hand crafted, but it would be
really cool if we could have an interim library that takes a MyHDL
hierarchy and translates the functions into convertible code. It means
complex cases can be handled through the translation library without it
making the converter code unwieldy.

I looked at PyPy for this a little while ago, but it was hard to
penetrate (not least because of the rather dismissive response from the
pypy developers) - Redbaron looks like it might be better suited to the
problem (largely because it looks like it doesn't require any backend
changes to the MyHDL converter code).
