+//!
+//! Creates a USB Serial device on a Pico board, with the USB driver running in
+//! the main thread.
+//!
+//! This will create a USB Serial device echoing anything it receives. Incoming
+//! ASCII characters are converted to upercase, so you can tell it is working
+//! and not just local-echo!
