Kevin,

I don't think adding a new parameter type is such a major extension.
After all the 1364-2001 supports parameter, specparam and localparam.
Also I have been careful to define the dynamicparam so that it only
effects features that have been added for AMS.

As you pointed out using `define does not allow sweeping. I don't totally
understand your solution to this. What did you mean by sweeping ranges on
parameters and using attributes somehow. Have you an example of what you mean?
