Re: [sv-bc] Nested module questions

Unlike type names, interface names can apparently be referred to in a
module declaration before the interface is declared, even though they
are being used there like type names.

  module test (io, IFC ifc1, ifc2);
      ...
  endmodule:test
 
  interface IFC(input clk);
    ...
  endinterface:IFC

In fact, what doesn't have this restriction?

Tasks and functions don't count, because an apparent forward reference
to them is actually a hierarchical reference instead.
