RE: [sv-bc] Musings on array assignment compatibility

Yes, that's definitely better, although it would introduce another example of a cast that infers its type from context, after we just got rid of such rules for signed'() and 17'(). A possible drawback is that you might have multiple packed dimensions, yet only want the first dimension to get this element-by-element copying.

Another option would be a new assignment operator, such as

     b [=] a;

and for nonblocking

     b [<=] a;

If two-level copying were desired

     b [=][=] a;

and so on.  But, like foreach'(...), whatever solution is chosen needs to be syntactically obvious.
