Hey Ed,

Funny enough, I was just working on this today. I'm adding a similar packet
header generator for async (PDU-based) packets. The concept is similar with
a default base class that you'd overload for your own purposes for packet
formatting. I'll be documenting this behavior more in the blocks
themselves, and this should eventually become the basis for another level
of our tutorials.

I have it working here in simulation, but I know there's going to be some
trouble going over the air. I suspect I'll have something that's is worth
sharing and reasonably documented early next week.

Tom
