It's easy to exaggerate the similarities between SV and Java.  For
example, Java has generic collections like the SV linked lists in Annex
D, but not fully parameterized types.

Also Java didn't add special-purpose syntax for unions, enums or
structs.

But it might be easier for SV to enhance such syntax if the semantics
were defined in terms of the more general concept of classes.
