[sv-bc] LRM dows not address context of streaming expression

Hi,
LRM does not mention the context of a streaming expression. The table 
11-21 describing the context of expression has no mention of streaming 
expression.
For streaming expressions LRM only says- "If the variable is larger than 
the stream, the stream is left-justified and zero-filled on the right". 
Is context of streaming expressions self determined or not ?

Consider the following
assign out[7:0] = {<< 1 {{>> 1 {3'b110}}}};

While evaluating this nested streaming expression , when we evaluate 
{<<1{{>> 1 {3'b110}}}}

If self determined,
 evaluation of leaf part {{>> 1 {3'b110}}}  will be 110
and similarly final out put of expression will be out [7:0] = 01100000

If not,
evaluation of {{>> 1 {3'b110}}}  will be: 11000000 (padding done as 
stream size is smaller than variable size)
and final out in this case  out[7:0] =  00000110


Thanks
Rajiv
