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

Hey Neil,

That is quite clever. Treat it as a forward typedef, and if the type is
eventually found, use that type. If the type is never found, default to
logic. In that case, it has the same effect as if you had treated it as
a typedef to the default logic type instead of as a forward typedef. It
is just the sort of thing that the Verilog language would do too.

I really hadn't considered anything like that, and I don't think Brad was
suggesting it either. I think what Brad had in mind was always treating
this particular syntax as a forward typedef, but allowing the short-hand
for a typedef of a logic vector. Nobody really needs to create a bunch
of aliases for a logic scalar type anyway, but they may need a lot of
different length vector types.
