No, `RES has to go before "parameter" also. If you put
"parameter real" on the `define line, you don't find the
keywords when you go looking (I've got a nice Emacs mode
for Verilog that highlights them).

(Meaning, allowing multiple attributes as (*attr1*)(*attr2*) )

Yes. Once you start having those really long descriptions
from BSIM3, and units that depend on other parameters
(like the flicker coefficient KF whose units depend on
the exponent of frequency EF), you've got two lines,
regardless of how the strings are added.

It takes a little getting used to, finding the description
on the line above, but I think I can live with that more
easily than the SV people could live with new syntax.
