Behavioral Task Force - Errata Submission

Assigned Enhancement Request Number: BE37
Errata Name (Description): Section 2.7 Title
Section: 2.7
Date Submitted: 961230
Requestor: Anders Nordstrom

Status: Submitted (priority not yet assigned)

Errors found in the Verilog LRM (IEEE 1364-1995).

Details:

* page 10: The title of section 2.7 is Identifiers, Keywords and system
        names but the text in the section do not mention system names.

<p>I am intepreting this request as a critique of the use of 'system names' in the title
when none of the 2.7 sections (1-4) use that text.

One could replace 'system names' with an alternative text with one more familiar, "system tasks and functions'. However I see that the title would include three of the four sections - leaving
out compiler directives. I would recommend a new title:

    2.7 Identifier classes

Each section describes a class of identifiers: escaped, (reserved) keywords, system task/function, and compiler directives. Each class is syntactically defined and explained
to be separate.

<p>Recommendation:

  Rewrite section 2.7 title as "Identifier classes"
