RE: [sv-bc] changing the lifetime of begin end block

You can hierarchical reference a call to an automatic function or task,
it's just that you can't hierarchically reference non-static variables
defined in those procedures. The user should explicitly mark static
variables as static where you intend to use the behavior associated with
static lifetimes. In fact, SV requires that you do this when you have an
declaration initialization

Automatics currently have the limitation that you cannot hierarchically
reference them.

        The intent of having "module automatic" was to change the
default lifetime of all blocks to automatic, to match the behavior of
classes. I can't think of a reason anyone should ever declare a task or
function with a static lifetime ever again.
