In your simplistic view of things. In reality, you have gained zero
understanding of what 'yield None' in MyHDL really means. Following
the guidelines would at least have told you that there is something
fundamentally wrong.

No, it's your patch that is messy (fundamentally broken even). The
guidelines are there to avoid that I have to waste time on such kludgy
work. Even after several rounds of insisting, you still didn't get the
hint. I've really had it with that kind of unwarranted self-confidence.
