Packages

The SiliconCompiler Schema includes built in support for project packaging and distribution through the ['package', ...] dictionary group. Modern programming languages like JavaScript and Rust have shown the importance of treating package management as a first class object rather than as an after thought. There is no reason we can’t do the same thing in hardware.
