Doh, but the first post (start of the conversation) was this simple type?

    class Binary:
	def __init__(self):
	   self.a = Signal(intbv()[32:])
	   self.b = Signal(intbv()[32:])

In general, I don't think it would be a big issue.  If something like 
the SignalStruct was used dynamically.  You could add signals as you 
like.  Then the converter would look at the final configuration and 
still get a list of signals.

But I kinda want to wrap my head around the declarative types first 
(converter issues, etc) without closing the door on the dynamic.  I 
think I am struggling with a use case were dynamic is more useful than 
the declarative.
