[sv-cc] Proposal for 2621 -- vpiSize of function declarations

I have uploaded a proposal for Mantis item #2621, "Ballot comment #155
vpiSize should return an error when applied on a vpiFunction returning
string."

The proposal reflects some feedback from Bassam and Abi.  Chuck, did
you get a chance to review the version I sent you earlier?

As for fashioning a text response to the ballot comment, note that
the proposal does not require VPI to emit an error for a vpiFunction
returning a string, but rather leaves the behavior as undefined.  Both
Bassam and Abi reminded me of 37.3.5 ("Expressions with side effects"),
and leaving the behavior as undefined seems more consistent with that.

Regards,
Jim Vellenga
