Some semblance of pin naming consistency among the various hal modules would be VERY nice. Most modules use a in0, in1 etc syntax, but lut5 has to be different, using in-0, in-1 etc. Very very frustrating when the error causing string is right there on the screen and does NOT make any bells ring other than sitting there telling me I am hopelessly stupid at writing a hal file.
