This has my strong support. It seems to me that "bind" will have
a big impact on the way some verification activities are done, and
its scant mention in the existing LRM was disappointing.
The clarifications and improvements are welcome.

One minor question - with apologies if it simply reflects
my misunderstanding: Suppose I bind module B into
some instance top.X.Y , then what is the *name* of the
bound instance of B? This would be important if, for
example, I wanted to bind something else into this
newly created instance of B, thereby extending its
functionality. The name can't be "top.X.Y.B" because
it's perfectly possible that some such named object
already exists, before the binding is done. Is the
bound module then to be anonymous?
