RE: [sv-bc] #1step

Except as specified in 15.2:

"Unlike other time units, which represent physical units, a step cannot be used to set or modify either the precision or the time unit."

Shalom,

"step" is defined as a time-unit so it's no different than "ms" or "ps". The only difference being 
that "step" is not a physical unit, but depends on the precision of the overall simulation.
Thus, it can be used with any arbitrary number (i.e. 2step) and anywhere time_literals are allowed (such uses may not be advisable, but they are not disallowed).

Can a time literal of "step" be used with a number different from 1? If not, does it say so anywhere?

Can "1step" be used wherever tiem_literal may be used or only as "#1step"?

Thanks,
Shalom
