    At the risk of getting into an argument for the sake of it, that brings
    up another question. When SV data types are extended to nets why not
    allow `default_nettype to be legal with any user defined net data type ??

    Once that happens, a user can create custom data types with the wone like
    attribute and use it along with `default_nettype. While I have nothing
    against wone like nets, I am only wondering why make the language any bigger

    1) if an attribute can capture the essence of a new construct
    2) (and) it's something a select few would be interested in ??

    Thanks,
    - Krishna.
