[sv-bc] Query regarding queue indexing

Hi,
I have some queries regarding queue indexing:

int q1[$];

Case I:
q1 = q1[0:$-1];
According to LRM, this is valid expression
Here $-1 is evaluated at runtime so this is not a constant expression.

Case II :
q1 = q1[0:q1.size()-1];
according to BNF :
part select expression should be constant expression : constant expression
Here size() is also evaluated at runtime.
So is this expression valid for queue ?
Also is the constant expression check for part select not required for a 
queue?

Some standard tools are passing.

Thanks,
Kakoli
