Don't apologize - I had totally forgotten about 594, which
completely deals with the issue.  Mea culpa, and thanks
to Doug for highlighting it.

Clearly that's true, but I'm intrigued that you seem to be
thinking of the module/program's port of modport type as being
something like a struct variable.  I had always imagined it 
to be more like an alias for the interface instance, with 
special visibility rules imposed by the modport.  I need 
to go away and think harder about that - it has significant 
impact on some stuff I've been exploring recently.

Thanks
