    Section 17.2.4.4 describes the $fread system function as
    reading data into the reg myreg or the memory mem. This
    might be interpreted as meaning that myreg must be declared
    as a reg. In fact, this appears to be an archaic use of the
    term "reg" and should have referred to a "variable". There
    is no reason that $fread should not be able to read into an
    integer or time variable. It should even be possible to
    read into a real or realtime variable.
