 The converter can handle designs with an arbitrarily deep hierarchy.
 
 For example, suppose we want to design an incrementer with Gray code output.

 According to Gray code properties, only a single bit will change in consecutive
 values. However, as the ``bin2gray`` module is combinatorial, the output bits
 may have transient glitches, which may not be desirable. To solve this, let's
 create an additional level of hierarchy and add an output register to the
 design. (This will create an additional latency of a clock cycle, which may not
-be acceptable, but we will ignore that here.) ::
