+ Alternatively, ``UartC`` may provide the UartStream multi-byte level
+ interface. See the Low-Level I/O TEP [TEP117_] for details.
+ 
+ Additionally, UartC provides a split-phase interface to signal when
+ the UART is idle. There are situations (such as when powering down the
+ usart, when switching from TX to RX on a radio with a UART data line,
+ etc.) when we need explicit information that the data sent over the
+ UART has actually been transmitted in full. The problem is that on
+ MCUs that double-buffer UART communication (such as the msp430), a
+ putDone event signifies that the UART is ready to accept another byte,
+ but NOT that the UART is idle.

+   interface SerialFlush {
+     async command void flush();
+     async event void flushDone();
+   }

  It also provides interfaces for configuring the serial port. *NOTE:
  These are not codified yet, and so working out the UART HIL seems like
