The "datatypes on nets" group has decided to disallow the use of the token
"reg" immediately following any nettype token. This was mostly to avoid
potential confusion or typos between "tri reg w" and "trireg w". However,
it should also prevent anyone writing "wire reg w" in the belief that this
will result in a wire that has more variable-like semantics. It was
decided to make this a lexical restriction on these specific tokens, rather
than a semantic restriction that would treat the "reg" type differently
from the "logic" type. Presumably anyone going through a typedef will
understand better that they are using "reg" purely as a datatype.
Since this restriction is being done as a lexical rule, it doesn't
require a difference in semantic treatment of "reg" and "logic". As a
result, I am changing my vote on 163 from NO to ABSTAIN.
