- + Issue 920: (19) Section 7.2 and 1364 - defparam vs. instantiation precedence

  (19) Section 7.2 and 1364 - defparam vs. instantiation precedence
  
    
   This comes up in netlisting as the 1364 LRM is really weird in this space. The defparam precedence is defined by last one seen
   (like a compiler directive) which in a netlisting environment sucks. If searching libraries then the result stated by 1364 is
   unknown, yek! This should be by level in the hierarchy and then instantiations should be treated as the same as defparams.
    
     Recommendation: If this does not get cleaned up to be reasonable we will need to ensure that the issue is addressed when
     global design variables are supported.
