Hi Kevin,

Please explain what you mean by "a mechanism for blocking inappropriate
connection (e.g. 'local' preceding non-exportable signal delarations)".

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, I believe the way to block inappropriate
connection is simply not to put the signal in the port list. I seem to
recall a previous email from you about "local", but I can't find it.

Thanks,
-Tom

  Couple of things:
   1. The .<name> syntax isn't really "implicit" as it's just shorthand for
.<name>(<name>) where
      the name is the same, which is (IMO) explicit. Can we drop "implicit"?

   2. I'm not that keen on .* without module/interface prototyping and a
mechanism for blocking
      inappropriate connection (e.g. 'local' preceding non-exportable signal
delarations). So I'm
      probably voting "no" until that happens.

  Kev.
