>Description:

I've noticed a few categories in the syntax which use periods which I always assumed had no whitespace near them. Specifically I believe the following nonterminals all contain periods (.) as part of their syntax
and require restrictions on preceding and/or following whitespace:

The period (.) in design_statement, inst_name, cell_clause and use_clause
shall not be preceded or followed by white_space.
The period (.) in port, named_parameter_assignment and named_port_connection
shall not be followed by white_space.

Although I'm not totally sure ;)
