     It may have been a good enough reason in the past, but backward
     compatibility with every detail of every corner case of Verilog-XL
     should not necessarily be a requirement for Verilog-2005. If it
     is, then we should revisit issue 402 (also regarding function side
     effects) in which Verilog-XL did not implement the intended behavior.
     
     Verilog-XL was a great tool. But it was software, so it wasn't
     perfect.
