[sv-cc] Recap of SV-CC item 274

Team,

Here's a recap of item 274.

   http://www.eda.org/svdb/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000274

Currently we treat 2-state bit vector arguments in an inconsistent way.
Small bit vectors (32 bits or less) are passed by value (svBitVec32),
while wider bit vectors are passed by reference (svBitPackedArrRef).

This leads to various usability problems.
A bugnote has been uploaded that details three such problems.

The proposed solution will:
  - simplify the language by removing exception cases
  - remove all identified usability problems
  - not harm performance

Regards,
Doug
