RE: [sv-bc] e-mail ballot: respond by Dec 3, 8am PST

Actually, the term 'symbol' is also used in the LRM, as in

5.7.2: "1.2E12 (the exponent symbol can be e or E)" 

9.4: "- A delay control, which is introduced by the symbol #
- An event control, which is introduced by the symbol @"

11.3: "The symbols for the SystemVerilog operators are similar to those
in the C programming language."

29.4.2: "The symbols *> and => each represent a different kind of
connection between the module path source and the module path
destination."

29.4.6: "Multiple module paths may be described in a single statement by
using the symbol *> to connect a comma-separated list of sources to a
comma-separated list of destinations."

But I'm still OK with changing it.

"Symbol" is also used in the LRM in a different sense, as in 6.4: "A
singular variable or expression represents a single value, symbol, or
handle," and there are other examples.

Shalom
