Refactor of current_mirror.py - #367
Conversation
I have broken down the current_mirror function into multiple smaller functions as this will improve readability and re-usability of the smaller function. Also added docstrings to the functions to make them more clear to users.

Left a few comments but this looks good otherwise

Is this pattern used elsewhere, in other circuits perhaps? If yes, then this function can be reused there as well.

I do not know repo well enough right now, but yes if this pattern is being used elsewhere then it can be replaced

That's fine. Let it be for now.

It would be better to prefix the function name with an _ or __ since it is only used as a subfunction in this file.

Yes, I agree with that. I'll make the changes.

It seems some of the documentation was removed. Is there a reason why it was shortened?

I thought this would be better but in hindsight I think the initial documentation is a better choice.

More elaborate documentation never hurts.

Have you tested if this function still works the same? For a temporary check, you can instantiate a few current mirrors and compare the results to the older function and ensure they are the same.
However, it would be really good if you add a test in the CI. You can take a look at this file as an example.
