It should not normally be a problem. Verilog understands the directive
on a per-module level and I think it's considered good practice
to set it in each module.

At some point, I introduced it because I needed it for some 
user-defined code to work properly.

I now see that it's not documented that you can actually set your
desired timescale using the toVerilog.timescale attribute. However,
it's not currently possible to disable it.

This could be changed: the default could be not to include a timescale
directive and only include it if the user sets the attribute.
Feedback welcome.
