oh duh :)

carry out, yes.

however think ahead to PartitionedSignal.  it becomes more like the unit tests
logic, with multiple incoming carry bits and multiple outgoing carry bits.

this is where it becomes both interesting and also hair-raising to implement
SV.

not least: the regfile gets typecast to a union of arrays of byte, hword, word
and dword.  the "register" RA etc then simply become a pointer to the 64 bit (8
byte) offset into the SRAM of the regfile memory.

but... let's leave that for later :)
