RE: [sv-bc] Root cause --- $unit is as broken as could be -- maybe too late to standardize it?

As a user, tool-specific behavior is an evil which I try to avoid as
much as possible, in order that my code be as portable as possible.

That is one of the reasons (though not the only one) that SV-Testbench
use has grown so far much faster and much more than SV-Design. In order
for SV-Design to work, every tool in your design flow that reads RTL
must support it. For SV-Testbench, you don't need much more than your
simulator.
