parameter_port_list of a module (see 22.2), interface, program or class. If any param_assignments appear in

a parameter_port_list, then any param_assignments that appear within the module, interface, program or class shall become local parameters and shall not be overridden by any method.

All param_assignments appearing within a package shall become local parameters.
