The 1364-2005 standard actually forbids event trigger statements in
functions.  This is probably because Verilog-XL doesn't allow it.
It shows a desire to discourage the side-effect of waking up other
processes, but doesn't actually prevent it, since you can wake up
another process from a function by writing to a variable.
