RE: [sv-ec] Review of Mantis 890 (clocking blocks)

Shalom,

I'm aware of this. In fact, that's what prompted me to attempt to define
these terms more precisely. I'm not proposing that we change the LRM at
this point, but that we use this terminology for the purpose of our
deliberations.

 "time step" is uses throughout the LRM with a different meaning,
similar to what you call "time slot".

To avoid further confusion, I believe the following taxonomy will be
useful:
* time slot - A time for which there are events to process - The
scheduled events at a specific time define a time slot
* time step - The time between time slots: The step that takes the
simulator from one slot to the next
* time unit - The physical units (s, ms, us, ns, ps, fs) associated with
a time literal plus the unit step
