    Hi Doug,

    I assume that this case is allowed to make it similar to parameter and
    net declarations:

        parameter foo = 1'b1;
        wire foo;
        var foo;

    It might make the object declaration rules easier to remember to know
    that you can always omit the data type if your declaration starts with
    a keyword for the object kind.

    I am fine with allowing it or disallowing it.

    Kathy
