Datatype option for wire label

Simple Idea.

 

How about including an option for appending the wire type to any given wire Label.

 

If I label a wire "Enum" the option to append a "<U8>", "<U16>" or "<U32>" would be great.

 

With Fixed floating point, the benefits are even greater..  "Ring Buffer" would become "Ring Buffer <FXP 20,20>".  This would be invaluable when debugginf FPGA code due to unintended data type changes somewhere in the program.
