RE: Regarding support of wreal

(another perspective on the wreal feature)

Wreal part of the Verilog-AMS standard not the Verilog standard and has
been there since LRM2.0,
released in 2000.

It has proven popular with users and is supported by multiple
implementors.

Thanks,

wreal was a (unecessary) Cadence hack that only exists in Verilog-A[MS].

Hopefully it will go away some day.
