   I have been looking forward to the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 for a while. The   
   increased speed will be welcome for one project I want to use it for.   
      
   However, according to what I've read there seem to be some missed   
   opportunities. Corrections would be welcome but AIUI:   
      
   * There are still no analogue /outputs/ - which I would have thought   
   would have been cheap and easy to provide.   
      
   * Although there are now 3 PIO units each one still has only 32 words of   
   program memory (which was very limiting in the Pico). I assume that   
   because the RP2350 is supposed to be software compatible meaning, among   
   other things, that it should run RP2040 PIO code.   
      
   Unfortunately, IIRC the RP2040 had absolute jumps rather than relative   
   ones meaning jump targets had to be in the range 0 to 31. If the new   
   chip has to be binary compatible then jump targets will still have to be   
   5-bit.   
      
   Of course, it could be possible to run into more PIO memory than 32   
   words as long as the requisite jumps were back to the initial 32-word   
   space but that would be awkward to use, and limiting.   
      
   Any corrections to the above?   
      
   Any other omissions, IYO?
