There are probably line numbers; my eyes might have just skipped past the !metadata. I just thought it would be cute (and helpful) if the blocks were named `rpc.print.next` or...

@jordens: Just to double-check, what should roughly be the limit for "safe" powers at the input (wiki states +10 dBm)? Not sure I'm looking at the right FPGA pin docs.

Should we work around this in gateware by just triggering one acquisition on reset?

Unfortunately, the ARTIQ compiler isn't compatible with standard Python type annotations; the equivalent would be `artiq.compiler.types.TFunction`.

Attribute writeback happens only when the kernel terminates, not before/after RPCs. I haven't looked at the docs for this in a long time, maybe they could be improved. `kernel_invariants` is...

@airwoodix: We've definitely tested this on DRTIO master builds in the past, but it's been a few years since the initial bring-up.

+1; this is a surprisingly obvious idea that I can't believe didn't occur to me earlier.

(This would be especially useful in situations where you don't have a backtrace available, which often provides enough context otherwise.)

Obvious as in a feature that should obviously exist. :) The implementation might require some finesse, though, in terms of finding a way that avoids breaking the various abstractions as...
