Re: [sv-ec] Email vote - closes June 22nd

I'm open to the friendly amendment, but I'm not sure
it's correct to say "variable" because I believe one
could also use string literals as default values for
integer type parameters, along the lines of

  parameter [31:0] input = "AAAA";

The current text has this sentence:

  A string literal can be assigned to a string type
  or an integral type.

and I tried to stick with the "convention."
