I see in Annex A.7 of the 2.1LRM,

analog_statement ::=
   | system_task_enable

system_task_enable ::=
   system_task_name [ ( expression {, expression} ) ]

system_task_name ::=
   $identifier

Is this meant to cover $strobe, $display, $monitor (and $debug)?
The original three should be allowed as statement (not restricted
to analog_statement). I suppose $debug could be allowed in a
digital block, also, though its intended use is for iterations
that only happen in an analog block.

I would expect that these particular system tasks should be
listed explicitly in the LRM, because they are reserved keywords.
(Along those lines, $stop is also missing from Annex A. I often
$strobe an error message and then $stop.)
