RE: [sv-bc] SV-BC #110 - 2-State Divide by 0 question

Cliff, others,

How about saying something like:

    It shall be an error to perform a
    divide-by-0 operation on a 2-state object.

I don't think any numerical result is correct.
All 0's is too optimistic in my opinion.

In light of the new datatypes work, my suggested wording
could probably use a little wordsmithing. Volunteers?

Regards,
Doug
