RE: [sv-cc] vpiConcatOp and Mantis 1702

FWIW, I was able to open a new SV-CC Mantis item this
morning.

]Indeed.  I assume that CC, like BC and EC, is now unable to 
]open new Mantis items?  So presumably this would need to
]be folded into the current 1702 proposal somehow.  As I
]said, I'll need some help with this.

]Thanks for the help - I'll take a second look.
