Thanks Francoise, I'll be person D:

Person D has a heavy load (lots of addition, a new chapter: 20) sample value
functions, complex property expressions, multi clock
properties, disable iff,
recursive properties, assume statement, expect statement, [ covergroup,
coverage points, coverage functions and tasks. ]

if I can ask Michael to help with

................ covergroup,
coverage points, coverage functions and tasks.

Later,
-Bassam.
