 * \brief Serializes complex modulations symbols from OFDM sub-carriers
 * \ingroup ofdm_blk
 *
 * \details
 * This is the inverse block to the carrier_allocator_cvc. It outputs the
 * complex data symbols as a tagged stream, discarding the pilot symbols.
 *
 * If given, two different tags are parsed: The first key (\p len_tag_key)
 * specifies the number of OFDM symbols in the frame at the input. The
 * second key (\p packet_len_tag_key) specifies the number of complex symbols
 * that are coded into this frame. If given, this second key is then used
 * at the output, otherwise, \p len_tag_key is used.
 * If both are given, the packet length specifies the maximum number of
 * output items, and the frame length specifies the exact number of
 * consumed input items.
 *
 * It is possible to correct a carrier offset in this function by passing
 * another tag with said offset.
 *
 * Input: Complex vectors of length \p fft_len
 * Output: Complex scalars, in the same order as specified in occupied_carriers.
