 * \brief This block makes hard decisions about the received
 * symbols (using a constellation object) and also fine tunes
 * phase synchronization.
 *
 * \details
 *
 * The phase and frequency synchronization are based on a Costas
 * loop that finds the error of the incoming signal point compared
 * to its nearest constellation point. The frequency and phase of
 * the NCO are updated according to this error.
 *
 * Message Ports:
 *
 * set_constellation (input):
 *    Receives a PMT any containing a new gr::digital::constellation object.
 *    The PMT is cast back to a gr::digital::constellation_sptr
 *    and passes this to set_constellation.
 *
 * rotate_phase (input):
 *    Receives a PMT double to update the phase.
 *    The phase value passed in the message is added to the
 *    current phase of the receiver.
