Re: [sv-bc] FW: interpretation of priority if-else or case statement

Hi all,

As a user, I know we have "priority" used as a signal. But that doesn't 
bother me much because the users already gave up several of their 
favorite names such as bit, sequence etc...

What bothers me most is that, priority is misleading. I didn't realize
until now, that it is not what it means. Verilog already gives enough 
rope to kill the users. It seems like SystemVerilog is giving even more...

Thanks,
Uma
