Externally clocked Timed loops : Allow exit / Synchronise start

[Intaris]

As part of my quest to solve problems arising from over-cautious Register transfers HERE I found a solution which WOULD have worked if I was able to force multiple clocks derived from the same source to be have synchronised start points (so that the iteration counters of the loops are known relative to each other). It seems that clocks derived from the same base clock do not neccessarily all start with Iteration zero at the same time.

My suggestion would be to either

• Give some option to force such loops to have synchronous starts (also when using external clocks) -or-
• Allow loops with external clocks to terminate so that we can put together out own synchronisation method
