* .FB always represents the non-inverted feedback of the signal. .Q feedback is inverted if istype'invert' is also used.
** If you use .PIN on an input only signal, you must use it on all occurrances of that signal.
*** Such cases are ambiguous and typically result in pin feedback.
See Feedback Specification - .Q and .FB for details.
