Proposal --

----------------------------

APPEND to the final paragraph of 18.5.1 --

   "The only exception is when a modport is used to import a function
    or task from another module, in which case a full prototype
    ahall be used."

This assumes that functions, as well as tasks, can be exported from
module to module via modports. I don't see any examples of that in
the LRM, but don't see any prohibition either. If this assumption
is wrong, then "function or" should be removed from the above append. 

----

In the example of 18.5.2, CHANGE --

   "   import task masterRead(input logic [7:0] raddr),
              task masterWrite(input logic[7:0] waddr));
    // import requires the full task prototype           "

TO --

   "   import task masterRead(),
              task masterWrite());
    // import into module that uses the modport          "
