[sv-cc] Editor questions on p. 792.

Charles,

WRT the editor questions on p. 792 of Draft-3.

This is the same "DPI merge" matter that Doug Warmke commented on 
and that I reviewed in a 6/4 email.  To summarize:

a. Doug is quite right that it is redundant and can be removed.

b. Recall that in the protected Draft-3, the redundant section is 
   34.10, "Import and Export Functions." (This was 34.9 in Stu's
   attachment to the original email).

c. Doug's suggestion to salvage and move one remark is reasonable.
   The target location for this sentence is the new last sentence of 
   paragraph 1 in the section "Exported functions." This is section
   34.7 of protected Draft-3 (but section 34.6 of Stu's attachment).

d. Since chapter 34 is ideally foreign language-independent, while 
   what's now Annex I is C-specific, I'd suggest minor changes to 
   make the remark follow that distinction:
   	"Declaring a SystemVerilog function to be exported does not change
	its semantics or behavior from the SystemVerilog perspective;
	there is no effect on SystemVerilog usage other than making it
	possible for foreign language tasks and functions in a DPI 
	call-chain to call the exported function."

Hi All,

I have reviewed our sections of draft 3, looking for issues or questions
from the editor.  There are 4 such questions, appearing on pages 792,
795, 961, and 1062.  Of our sections, it appears that the editor has made
the most changes in section 35.  We should review this section carefully.

   -Chas
