RE: [sv-bc] part selects on arbitrary expressions

[SB] Examples from 1364 ARE good as back-compatibility is preserved
except in special cases, such as use of SV keywords.
1364 has 1-D packed arrays, called vectors, and multi-D unpacked arrays.
See 1800 5.1 which explains the correspondence in terms.
An array element assignment that works in 1364 must work in 1800, also.
[Yulik] OK

So at least two of us now agree that the type of bit-select should be
the type of the element (driven by backward compatibility requirement)
and the type of one-element part select should be a one-element array
(driven by usability reasons). What if left then is to make sure
everybody else also agrees to that conclusion and to make sure the
definition finds its way into LRM.
