+/*!
+	ClockReceiver is a template for components that receove a clock, measured either
+	in cycles or in half cycles. They are expected to implement either of the run_for
+	methods and to declare that they are `using` the other; buying into the template
+	means that the other run_for will automatically map appropriately to the implemented
+	one, so callers may use either.
+
+	Alignment rule:
+
+		run_for(Cycles) may be called only at the start of a cycle. E.g. the following
+		sequence will have undefined results:
+
+			run_for(HalfCycles(1))
+			run_for(Cycles(1))
+
+		An easy way to ensure this as a caller is to pick only one of run_for(Cycles) and
+		run_for(HalfCycles) to use.
+
+	Reasoning:
+
+		Users of this template may with to implement run_for(Cycles) and run_for(HalfCycles)
+		where there is a need to implement at half-cycle precision but a faster execution
+		path can be offered for full-cycle precision. Those users are permitted to assume
+		phase in run_for(Cycles) and should do so to be compatible with callers that use
+		only run_for(Cycles).
+
+	Corollary:
+
+		Starting from nothing, the first run_for(HalfCycles(1)) will do the **first** half
+		of a full cycle. The second will do the second half. Etc.
