+/** Utility for constructing hardware registers with an initialization value.
+ *
+ * The register is set to the initialization value when the current implicit `reset` is high
+ *
+ * The two forms of `RegInit` differ in how the type and width of the resulting [[Reg]] are
+ * specified.
+ *
+ * ==Single Argument==
+ * The single argument form uses the argument to specify both the type and reset value. For
+ * non-literal [[Bits]], the width of the [[Reg]] will be inferred. For literal [[Bits]] and all
+ * non-Bits arguments, the type will be copied from the argument. See the following examples for
+ * more details:
+ *
+ * 1. Literal [[Bits]] initializer: width will be set to match
+ * {{{
+ * val r1 = RegInit(1.U) // width will be inferred to be 1
+ * val r2 = RegInit(1.U(8.W)) // width is set to 8
+ * }}}
+ *
+ * 2. Non-Literal [[Element]] initializer - width will be inferred
+ * {{{
+ * val x = Wire(UInt())
+ * val y = Wire(UInt(8.W))
+ * val r1 = RegInit(x) // width will be inferred
+ * val r2 = RegInit(y) // width is set to 8
+ * }}}
+ *
+ * 3. [[Aggregate]] initializer - width will be set to match the aggregate
+ *
+ * {{{
+ * class MyBundle extends Bundle {
+ * val unknown = UInt()
+ * val known = UInt(8.W)
+ * }
+ * val w1 = Reg(new MyBundle)
+ * val w2 = RegInit(w1)
+ * // Width of w2.unknown is inferred
+ * // Width of w2.known is set to 8
+ * }}}
+ *
+ * ==Double Argument==
+ * The double argument form allows the type of the [[Reg]] and the default connection to be
+ * specified independently.
+ *
+ * The width inference semantics for `RegInit` with two arguments match those of [[Reg]]. The
+ * first argument to `RegInit` is the type template which defines the width of the `Reg` in
+ * exactly the same way as the only argument to [[Wire]].
+ *
+ * More explicitly, you can reason about `RegInit` with multiple arguments as if it were defined
+ * as:
+ * {{{
+ * def RegInit[T <: Data](t: T, init: T): T = {
+ * val x = Reg(t)
+ * x := init
+ * x
+ * }
+ * }}}
