Re: Hierarchical reference questions

So I didn't quite catch the resolution on this.
here in Graham's original example we decided that a connect function 
could be used to cast V(system.inst.net)
So this would actually be done as follows:

analog $display("Value is %g.", V(electrical ' (system.inst.net)));

And a casting "connect function" would be used to convert 
system.inst.net if needed.
Would the following also be allowed:

real x;
integer i;
electrical a;
analog begin
    i = V(electrical ' (system.inst.net));
    x = V(electrical ' (system.inst.net));
    V(a) <+ V(electrical ' (system.inst.net));
end

Or would this be an error. Now that I revisit the syntax that is going 
to be used, I see no reason to disallow it as the user is aware that 
they are explicitly casting the value, hence the result may not be as 
accurate as if they had passed it in as a port and used a connect module 
instead.

Cheers...
