    I'm about to bombard you with some more errata items. It's almost as though nobody has built a parser based directly on the BNF in the spec. Or maybe they didn't report the errors.

    In A.2.6, a function starts like this:

    function [ automatic ] [ signed ] [ range_or_type ]

    where range_or_type include integer|real|realtime|time

    Nowhere else can the "signed" keyword be used with these types. I assume this is not what was intended, but if it is, what would "signed" mean with these?
