Hi All,

I have a query regarding naming conventions for fixed sized bins and 
automatically created bins with in covergroups.

As per section "19.11.3 Type coverage computation" of draft8 of system 
variable::

For state bins declared as “binname[n]”, bin names range “binname[0]” 
through “binname[ n-1]”
and
For automatically created bins, bin names are of the form “auto[value]” 
or “auto[low:high]”

SizedBins distribution is according to size specified with them.
AutoBins get distributed according to auto_bin_max option.

Why are we following index based naming for fixed sized bins
and
value or value range based naming for auto bins.

Shouldn't we follow the same consistent naming convention for both.

Please provide with your comments.

Thanks
