The string methods in Sections 3.7.9 thru 3.7.15, i.e., the 'atoi()'-like
methods and the 'itoa()' like methods seem underspecified.
In the 'atoi()'-like methods (atoi, atohex, atooct, atobin, atoreal),
should they be specified to parse the full Verilog integer and real
constant syntax?
(I don't think we can appeal to the C standard for atoi() because
C's numeric constants have different syntax from Verilog's).
Similarly, do the 'itoa()'-like methods produce a full Verilog-syntax
integer constant (including the width, tick, base, ....)?
