RE: [sv-bc] The "reg" issue

While I have my own opinions on the "reg" issue, and discussions of it may
be worthwhile, I think it needs its own subject line. The existing "Data
Types on Nets" proposal is only minimally impacted by this issue.

If "reg" were changed to mean "var", we might still want the "var" keyword
to avoid the confusion associated with the word "reg" (just as we now have
the keyword "logic" as a synonym for "reg" as a data type). So the addition
of "var" as an optional keyword indicating a variable declaration is not
necessarily impacted by the treatment of "reg".

So can we please separate this discussion from the "Data Types on Nets"
proposal?
