Yeah, it is crap. There is a huge overhead in doing anything in Vivado - 
all my tests are creating new instances which takes ~7 seconds or so

Yeah exactly. Some sort of simple interface language/definition from 
which interface wrappers can be generated. Certainly, it's a common 
problem in myhdl that is in need of a neat solution.

That said, what does the new use_std_logic flag do? Is that per-module?
