--- Comment #35 from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl at lkcl.net> ---
just so you're aware: any change to the PowerFields API affects:

* SVP64Asm
* ISACaller (which needs fields to be extracted)
* pywriter (the compiler)
* PowerDecoder2
* every single HDL pipeline
* sv_analysis

it's basically *literally* everything hence it makes me extremely
nervous to make any changes of any kind.  i.e. a "simple" innocuous
change to the API would result literally in hundreds of knock-on
changes to the entire codebase.

it's so critical that now that i think about it, it would be better
to read the latex document when available and convert it into
fields.txt format rather than alter power_fields.py
