RE: [sv-bc] Doubts on Streaming Operator

But 8.17 has:

int j = { "A", "B", "C", "D" };
{ >> {j}} // generates stream "A" "B" "C" "D"
{ << byte {j}} // generates stream "D" "C" "B" "A" (little endian)
{ << 16 {j}} // generates stream "C" "D" "A" "B"
{ << { 8'b0011_0101 }} // generates stream 'b1010_1100 (bit reverse)
{ << 4 { 6'b11_0101 }} // generates stream 'b0101_11
{ >> 4 { 6'b11_0101 }} // generates stream 'b1101_01 (same)
{ << 2 { { << { 4'b1101 }} }} // generates stream 'b1110

All those lines except the first ARE examples of usage outside an
assignment-like context.

Shalom
