[sv-bc] RE: [sv-ec] Mantis 1702 - queue concatenation

[copied to BC, since it clearly trespasses somewhat
on their territory]

There has been a recent email thread on SV-EC 
concerning queues, their status (or not) as unpacked
arrays, and the queue-concatenation syntax
described by example in draft 4 clause 7.11.1.  See
  http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ec/hm/5166.html
and follow-ups.

Would there be any strong objection if I were to extend 
the scope of Mantis 1702 to clarify that a queue is
a fully-fledged unpacked array? 

If that's acceptable to all, I can trawl through the
LRM looking for relevant text that needs alteration
or clarification, and include such changes in the
1702 proposal.

Personally, I think it would be very helpful to have
queues be full members of the unpacked-array club.
