[sv-bc] DataTypes: wording for optional "var"

I have appended some proposed wording for an optional "var" keyword
in a variable declaration. Please send your feedback as soon as possible.
Even if you think the wording is fine, can you please send mail
indicating this?

Thanks,

Kathy

SECTION 5.4. Variables:

CHANGE:

A variable declaration consists of a data type followed by one
or more instances.

    shortint s1, s2[0:9];

TO:

One form of variable declaration consists of a data type followed by one
or more instances.

    shortint s1, s2[0:9];

Another form of variable declaration begins with the keyword "var".
The data type is optional in this case. If a data type is not
specified then the data type logic shall be inferred.

    var byte my_byte; // equivalent to "byte my_byte;"

    var v; // equivalent to "var logic v;"

    var enum bit { clear, error } status;

    input var logic data_in;
