 - `patch_dss_com`: Allow the DSS instance to be callable for better compatibility with our DSS engine. Note that this won't have performance benefits nor handles complex scripts.
 - Fix Bus callback integration with AltDSS-Python. The relevant code should be moved there later.

 - Add `DSS.Error.UseExceptions` to allow disabling the automatic mapping of error numbers to Python exceptions. When disabling, users take full responsibility to actually check for errors through the `DSS.Error` interface.
 - Add `DSSCompatFlags.SaveCalcVoltageBases`.
 - Transformers: add a warning in the docstrings of `WdgCurrents`, `WdgVoltages` (these don't work well when the transformer has open terminals).

 DSS-Python uses CFFI and NumPy to expose the OpenDSS engine, as implemented in our alternative engine (AltDSS) through the [AltDSS/DSS C-API](https://github.com/dss-extensions/dss_capi) library. OpenDSS is an open-source electric power distribution system simulator [distributed by EPRI](https://sourceforge.net/p/electricdss/).
