Description of Problem
----------------------

In 4.3.3.2 Nonobject aliases, page 71, there is a commented
description of an implicit alias declaration for the "not" operator:
    
    -- alias "not" is STD.STANDARD."not"
    --   [STD.STANDARD.BIT, STD.STANDARD.BIT
    --     return STD.STANDARD.BIT];
    
    It should be
    
    -- alias "not" is STD.STANDARD."not"
    --   [STD.STANDARD.BIT
    --     return STD.STANDARD.BIT];
    

Proposed Resolution
-------------------

Change the description to
    
    -- alias "not" is STD.STANDARD."not"
    --   [STD.STANDARD.BIT
    --     return STD.STANDARD.BIT];
