Need a "timestamp struct" mixin (similar to trig instance). Context manager that sets the timestamp on exit (for updating struct data's timestamp field)
then start sending and receiving arrays of these

[vkottler]

Add a method / facilities for ingesting timestamped structs and using the timestamp value as the "set time" for all subsequent fields.

Method for iterating over an array of structs as a bytes object / stream?

[vkottler]

need to try and make the UI properly re-size the channel table, so that you don't have to expand a window to grab it

[vkottler]

Next up, probably back to ifgen to work on some of the generation ergonomics (+ ability to spawn boilerplate loopback apps).

[vkottler]

Once we can generate the runtimepy side, time to test sending data from a C++ program + teach C++ programs how to ingest JSON commands (leverage more auto-generated code?).

[vkottler]

Need a way to specify per-struct endianness + we should test that this actually works
