[sv-ec] Soft Constraints #2987 - minor syntax question

In the syntax for the constraints, the "soft" keyword was used at the
end of the constaint rather than the beginning. In most other
contexts, qualifications lead (i.e. in declarations, etc) rather than
follow, so wouldn't it make more sense to have: soft a < 5;
rather than a < 5 soft;

Is there a particular reason for the suffix form rather than the prefix
or was it just personal preference?

Gord.
