Description
FIRRTL spec only covers this for modules, and use on extmodule's in untested and unverified.
The following parses and compiles fine:
FIRRTL version 4.0.0
circuit EL:
extmodule X enablelayer A.B.C :
public module EL :
Supporting this allows extmodule to describe a module with enablelayers such that it's instantiated appropriately.
Assuming we want this, spec should be updated and verifier added accordingly.

Research direction
Start with the FIRRTL specification and the parser/verifier paths exercised by the provided extmodule example. Determine the intended semantics for enablelayer on extmodule, then update the specification and add the corresponding verifier behavior; done means the example is handled according to the agreed rules rather than silently accepted.
