    The draft (2005-d2) fails to mention the interaction between defparams and module instance parameter assignment.
    So what happens if a defparam exists for a module and the module is instantiated in another module
    that has parameter assignments in the instantiation? Which one overrides?
     
    I would suspect the instance param assignment overrides as the defparam only modifies the local value of the
    parameter in the child module. The LRM does not state so explicitly - or maybe I missed it.
