i think that's what i meant.

ok so these are called nsnrlatch and srlatch, and there are times-1 and times-4
variants.

my main reason to cross-ref what you kindly wrote for our use was to highlight
that it had happened.

so let me try to understand:

* yosys $sr (and variants) will need to map to these cells (nsnrlatch_xN
  and srlatch_xN).

  will this need patches (or a plugin) into yosys?

* nmigen will need to map to $sr

  i presume that given that yosys already has $sr, only nmigen will need
  augmenting to produce $sr?
