RE: [sv-ec] Upward referencing rules question

So if this reference found as first wouldn't be a variable - then search
should proceed? below example shold work and print '5' ? :
 
module M;

endmodule

 

module a1;

    function int foo(input int i);

        return i; 

    endfunction

endmodule

 

module top;
 M a1();
 
 initial begin : oo
 $display(a1.foo(5));        // o tu
 end
endmodule

Once you descend into a select of a variable, in this case byte a1, you stop
searching for a1. Since there is no num() method of a byte, you should get
an error.

So if the variable a1 was ie byte - which cannot have num() method - then
what - searching will be hold or not?:

 

module M;
 function int foo(int y);
  return y;
 endfunction
endmodule

 

module top;
 M a1();
 
 initial begin : oo
 byte a1;
 $display(a1.foo(5));        // o tu
 end
endmodule
