Since we didn't create attributes in a way that would accomplish synthesis on/off behavior, perhaps what we should do is require synthesis tools to define a compile time macro so that Adam's example would work as a replacement of the comment-style on/off flags. That way we can depricate all the comment-style commands by having all of them covered. Without defining a compile time macro name, we're left with metacomments as defined in section 6.1 of 1364.1

I would like to see section 6.1 indicate that metacomments are depricated in general.

Regards, Stefen
