As I recall, the first version I saw allowed parameter declarations mixed in
with the ANSI-C style port declarations in the port list. I proposed moving
the parameters into a separate #() list, to match the syntax in the
instantiation, where parameter overrides appear in a separate #() list.
This has still left some concerns about localparams. You might want to
use localparams in the ANSI-C style port list, which would require them
to be declared before the port list, but localparams don't really belong
in the #() list because they can't be overridden with the #() values in
the instantiation.
There were reasons why Verilog originally declared the ports inside the
module, and ANSI-C style port declarations keep hitting those reasons.
