[sv-ec] String replication inconsistency - Mantis 2700

Table 7-1 in the ballot draft says that string 
replication looks like
  {multiplier{Str}}
and describes it as though there can be only 
one string expression in the inner braces.

However, for consistency with ordinary Verilog 
replication it should surely be
  {multiplier{Str1, Str2, ..., StrN}}

The BNF (A.8.1) permits the latter form, and so 
does at least one simulator.  Is it reasonable 
to modify Table 7-1 accordingly, or is that 
outwith the terms of the ballot revision?
