Subject: Thoughts on the .* proposal

All,
The e-mail votes to defer the .* port connection proposal to a later
version of SystemVerilog leave me a little concerned that some of us have
not taken time to carefully review Cliff's .* proposal. In Cliff's e-mail
of 17 Mar 2002 (subject: ".* and .name Implicit Port Declaration Proposal -
20020317") he went to a great deal of effort to explain the syntax and
benefits of the .* construct. The proposal is very thorough, and leaves
nothing to "defer". A couple of minor questions were raised regarding the
order of mixed .* and named connections, but those questions can be quickly
answered, and do not justify deferring a useful construct for several months.
A number of readers of this message have not voted at all. I would like to
encourage those who have not yet voted, and those who perhaps voted to
defer the construct because they did not have time to read Cliff's three
attachments to the aforementioned e-mail, to find the time to review the
proposal before the 9:00 AM conference call on the 25th. They document the
syntax and advantages very clearly.
Stu
