> ## block_profile

> This goal helps in profiling the block, as well as gathering some useful statistics for the design. It may not be needed when RTL is still being actively coded. However, when RTL is somewhat complete, this information is useful to get an overall profile of the design. In later stages of RTL development, a sudden change in design characteristics (say, number of FFs) may point to unintended or non-optimal bug-fix.
