     Does the 2nd paragraph of 3.11.1 disallow the overriding of parameters
     defined in named blocks and inside tasks and functions when 2001-style
     parameter declarations, e.g., #(parameter P=2), are used?
     
     It seems like, within the body of a module, there is no difference
     between 'parameter' and 'localparam' in such cases because --
     
       "If any param_assignments appear in a module_parameter_port_list, then
        any param_assignments that appear in the module become local parameters
        and shall not be overridden by any method."
