I have discovered MyHDL recently and considering using it.
I have followed your discussion and get questions :
- How is it possible to "switch" the underlying resources  ("inner 
primitive blocks can be switched") ?
- Why do you say you can do things with MyHDL but not VHDL (your complex 
multiplier) ?
