    >Section 4.1.14 of IEEE 1364-2001 LRM says
    >"Unsized constant numbers shall not be allowed in concatenations. This
    >is because the size of each operand in the concatenation is needed to
    >calculate the complete size of the concatenation."
    >But table 29 of sec 4.4.1 says that the bit length of Unsized constant
    >number is same as integer.
    >
    >In this scenario I think this paragraph at sec 4.1.14 is not required
    >and concat like {9, 5} should be valid.
    >Please suggest.
