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

Hi Doug,

I assume that this case is allowed to make it similar to parameter and
net declarations:

    parameter foo = 1'b1;
    wire foo;
    var foo;

It might make the object declaration rules easier to remember to know
that you can always omit the data type if your declaration starts with
a keyword for the object kind.

I am fine with allowing it or disallowing it.

Kathy
