Maybe the standard neds to define this. My thinking was that
parameter use in attributes should assume localparam definition
even for legacy code. Because it is possible in PLI to have
sophisticated routine get post elaboration values, I have not
run into problems with my (maybe wrong) algorithm. There is
also code to check for duplicate attributes and current implementation
uses "localparam" value, i.e.
(* celltype = p1,` celltype = p2 *)
returns only one parameter if localparam values of p1 and p2 are same.
