Good afternoon Karen,

You wrote,

"So do we want to limit indexed part selects to unrollable loops where the
index is the same as the loop variable and unrolling completely determines
the accesses?"

As a Verification engineer, I'm looking for additional power in the language.
My need for "indexable part selects" is most often in straight line code.
E.g.

    // cache_data[63+64*start_beat:64*start_beat] = beat_data;
    mask = {64{1'b1}} << (64*start_beat);
    new_data = beat_data << (64*start_beat);
    cache_data = ~mask & cache_data | new_data;

I would like to see indexable part selects available wherever part selects are
allowed.

<p> Adam
