Re: [sv-bc] enums in packed arrays

The change allowed all integral types in packed unions.  Do we then want
to allow all integral types in packed arrays, including bytes?  Sounds
good to me, but do we need to exclude 'integer' for backward
compatibility with de facto Verilog?

Subject: [sv-bc] enums in packed arrays

At yesterday's SV-BC meeting, we modified the description of packed
unions
in a way that allows enums as members of packed unions.  We also noted
that
the LRM allows enums as members of packed structs.

Given this, it seems inconsistent that the LRM does not allow enums as
elements of packed arrays.  Shouldn't we change this also?
