That looks like a bit of a hack to me. The parameter and attribute
mechanisms are general purpose schemes for things that are not part of
the language proper. M-factor needs to be part of the language proper:
attributes and parameters can be ignored when they shouldn't be.

I prefer my earlier proposal
(http://www.eda.org/verilog-ams/hm/0705.html) that the m-factor be
specified in the instance statement in {} before the port-list, and be
retrievable in an instance with the system-function $mfactor (returning
a real).
