[sv-bc] variable declaration assignments

Hi,

Mantis 1555 is for clarification is that an initializer can appear in a
variable declaration not only in a module/program/interface, but also in
subroutines, procedural blocks, and $unit. 

6.7 says simply, 
"A variable can be declared with an initializer, for example: int i =
0;"

There has sometimes been confusion about this, so it would be good to
clarify it more explicitly.

My question is, what exceptions are there?

I thought of udp_reg_declaration. What else?

It would seem not to make sense for a module/interface/program input
port variable declaration. There is an enhancement request to allow them
as default connection values.

Till now, subroutine output port declarations did not allow them and
even the Mantis 1602 proposal would define them as default bindings, not
as initializers.

assertion_variable_declaration does not seem to allow initializers as
well.

Perhaps it would nevertheless be better to state where initializers are
allowed rather than the exceptions.

Thanks,
Shalom
