Description
We should estimate and report the amount of resources consumed by operations and wires. Resource counts for registers, LUTs, BRAMs and DSPs
Possibly those could even be subdivided further, like "LUT-bound registers" and "free registers"
- Infrastructure. Compute and store this information in InstantiatedModule
- Number of pipeline stages on top of wire
- register resource count
- LUT Count
- Special resources, like BRAMs, MLABs, M20ks, DSPs

Research direction
Start by locating InstantiatedModule and the hover-reporting path, then trace how operations and wires are represented. Define how pipeline stages and counts for registers, LUTs, BRAMs, MLABs, M20ks, and DSPs should be computed and stored; done means these resource estimates appear on hover.
