+ 2081 - http://www.eda.org/svdb/view.php?id=2081

  Consensus is that to update 9.2.2.2 that task enables may appear but are
  not considered combinational logic. May want to clarify that input
  arguments of task or function calls are considered as part of the
  implicit sensitivity. May want to clarify the behavior for calls to
  static class methods called through class scope modifiers.

  Discuss next step based on any feedback.

           tackle now.
  11/22/10 Brad to file Mantis item for upward passing of interfaces.
  01/31/11 All check with users regarding viability of rule that virtual

           previously parsed.
  02/14/11 Users consider proposed restrictions and use-cases for varargs

  03/14/11 Matt check back with Gord and Mark in April about feedback
           regarding interface issues.

           operations and what is a hierarchical name.
