[sv-ec] Behavior of at_least options with default bins.

Hi

I have a query about reporting of default bins when at_least options is 
also set.

As per the LRM
     "The default bin catches the values of the coverage point that do 
      not lie within any of the defined bins."
And it also states that
     " The default is useful for catching unplanned or invalid values."

At_least is an instance specific coverage option and
 It refers to Minimum number of hits for each bin. A bin with 
 a hit count that is less than number is not considered covered.


But does the concept of COVERED applies to DEFAULT bins.
default bins do not impact coverage calculation in any way. 
They are used just to know if there is any unplanned value being hit.

If a default bin is hit but the count is less than at_least
then should we report it or not. Not reporting it may cause user
to miss on important information.

And what should be an appropriate way of reporting it.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thanks
Saurabh
