RE: [sv-ec] "::" is ambiguous in parameterized classes

Brad,

By that same reasoning, the BNF would not allow you to construct a class
passed as a type parameter
class whatever_type;
endclass

class A #(type B=whatever_type);
B b; // B is a type_identifier
function new();
	b = new(); 
endfunction
endclass

as well as a simple typedef

typedef whatever_type C; // C is a type_identifier according to the BNF
C c = new;

Clearly, a type_identifier can become whatever__type_identifier it needs
to be and would need to follow what ever rules need to be followed as
that type that it becomes.
