    I have appended some proposed wording for an optional "var" keyword
    in a variable declaration. Please send your feedback as soon as possible.
    Even if you think the wording is fine, can you please send mail
    indicating this?

    Thanks,

    Kathy

    SECTION 5.4. Variables:

    CHANGE:

    A variable declaration consists of a data type followed by one
    or more instances.

        shortint s1, s2[0:9];

    TO:

    One form of variable declaration consists of a data type followed by one
    or more instances.

        shortint s1, s2[0:9];

    Another form of variable declaration begins with the keyword "var".
    The data type is optional in this case. If a data type is not
    specified then the data type logic shall be inferred.

        var byte my_byte; // equivalent to "byte my_byte;"

        var v; // equivalent to "var logic v;"

        var enum bit { clear, error } status;

        input var logic data_in;
