Sorry if this was already brought up.

The last paragraph of 4.3 says,

"Out of range index values shall be illegal for both reading from and
writing to an array of 2-state variables, such as 'int'. The result of an
out of range index is indeterminate. Implementations shall generate a
warning if an out of range index occurs for a read or write operation."

I don't understand what this "illegal" means.
"Illegal" usually means that it generates a fatal error.
If the behavior is discussed ("indeterminate" in this case),
and the simulation continues, then it becomes a "use at your own risk",
but not illegal?

Thanks,
Shalom
