    Precedence: bulk

    The following proposal modifies clause 9.2.1. Blocking Procedural Assignments

    REPLACE:

        blocking_assignment ::=
           variable_lvalue = [ delay_or_event_control ] expression

    WITH

        blocking_assignment ::= (From Annex A - A.6.2)
             variable_lvalue = [ delay_or_event_control ] expression
           | variable_lvalue++
           | variable_lvalue--

    Note: add the following paragraph

    A variable followed by the ++ or -- operator shall be evaluated as if expanded to the equivalent blocking assignment statement:

         variable = variable + 1;

    or
         variable = variable - 1;

    respectively.
