   I've been thinking about this some more in relation to making it easier to swap stages, for example; is the notion of a Component already defined anywhere?

   OK, mostly for my reference:

   • Components are Python objects that get attached to the LabThing, with a name. This means they may be referenced by name rather than value.
   • Extensions are not Components (currently). Should they be? It would allow one extension to be made aware of the registration of another extension through the on_component mechanism and means you don't need to worry about whether you are looking for an Extension or a SomethingElse...
