Good post as usual.  I appreciate the connection between procedural 
descriptions and concurrent descriptions.  Any HDL designer (or anyone 
that has ever written a line of HDL) can learn quite a bit from your posts.

Now ... one of the items you eluted to in a previous thread was that in 
Python3, MyHDL "variables" won't need to be explicitly declared in the 
generator.  If I am not mistaken, often if a variable is used you have 
to use the @instance decorator and cannot take advantage of the @always* 
decorators (not true for all variables use cases but many).  Is this 
true or am I mistaken?
