throw_it and elaboration

Bishnupriya,

The spec says "Throwing an exception in a process that has not started
execution yet shall have no effect for the same reasons as above, and
shall be an error. Setting up the include_descendants flag has no
associated semantics in this case, because the throwee process is
guaranteed to not have any descendants, as it has never executed, and
hence, has never spawned any children"

However, if you remember, we decided that calling throw_it on a method
process is allowed and has no effect except that an implementation may
issue a warning. Would it not be more consistent to apply this same rule
in the case of calling throw_it before simulation has started? As the
rules stand, we have the situation that

- calling throw_it on a method process during elaboration is an error
- calling throw_it on a method process during simulation but before the
associated function has first executed is allowed, but may cause a warning

Thanks,

John A
