Thanks - that's a lot clearer.  Am I right in assuming that
in such a situation, the virtual interface references
the modport (as per its static data type) rather than the
whole interface (as per the reference that was assigned to it)?

OK, that makes good sense.

1742 already exists; perhaps we can adjust it to suit.
