[sv-bc] SV LRM review issues

Hello Stu, SV-BC, and SV-CC.

I finished reviewing all my Mantis items.
Almost all of them have been Closed.

I assigned 3 of them back to SV-LRM, and added
Bug Notes explaining the reasons why. The Bug Notes
are duplicated here for your convenience.

Thanks and regards,
Doug

Item #50

1. In the 3rd paragraph of E.4, it is stated that
    "This subclause fully defines the svdpi.h file".

   This is not strictly true, since the file is fully
   defined in Annex F (not this little subclause).
   The following would be better:
    "The svdpi.h file is fully defined in Annex F."

2. In 9.3, Example 3, the following comment:
     /* Read least significant byte of each word of b into aB, then
process...*/
   should be indented 2 more spaces, so that it lines up
   with the line of code below it.

3. The title of Annex F should be:
   "Include File svdpi.h"

   (Currently it is simply named "Include File")

4. In E.7.8 (inout and output arguments), the terms
   svBitPackedArrRef and svLogicPackedArrRef should be
   replaced with svBitVecVal* and svLogicVecVal*, respectively.

5. In E.6.4, there was a collision between items #50 and #274.
   To fix this, all that needs to be done is to replace
   svBitPackedArrRef with svBitVecVal*. There are two places
   this change is needed, both in the 4th paragraph of the subclause.

Item #163

6. There is a tiny editorial error in this item.
   There needs to be an "a" in front of "4-state type"
   at the end of the first sentence in the second
   paragraph of 3.3.2.

Item #315

6. In the 2nd-to-last paragraph of 17.15, the following sentence
appears:
    "Note that the latter situation will can occur if the design
     contains more than one instance of a module containing a
     bind statement."

   Note the "will can occur". In the original proposal, this was
   simply "will occur". I feel "will" is better than "can" in this
case.
   This situation WILL occur with 100% reliability, not just sometimes,
   as the word CAN implies.
