Sounds very reasonable! Perhaps some of the delays can be handled
within the context of the regulator then!?

I am for sure open to extend pwrseq_simple, please go ahead!
The initial version provided a proof of concept and the
infrastructure. I expect and want people to extend it to suit their
HWs.
If we at some point find that pwrseq_simple starts to become too
complex, we may add another pwrseq type with a corresponding new
compatible string.
