Re: [sv-bc] function task calling

The main problem is what to do about users overriding the
builtin definitions of system tasks such as $display.
Things like $display (et al) have had well-defined meanings
for so long that I don't think we want to mess around with
them.  Since there isn't a problem with systasks in general,
if someone wanted to write up an explicit exclusion for
them in the context of functions, that would be fine.
