RE: [sv-bc] Instantiating gates, primitives and modules in interfaces

 
Of course you are correct Paul, but wouldn't modports be a great
extension to modules. All of the sudden you could describe master and
slave interfaces in clean ways on a single module definition or define
multiple levels of abstraction of interface to the same module. 

Oh, be still my beating heart ...

No, an interface can contain modports and a module can't :-)
