If a generate construct is enclosed in a begin-end pair, it can't
be directly nested (1364-2005 section 12.4.2).
(cherry picked from commit c34167b2c0)
A module port list may contain unnamed entries, e.g.
module dut(a,);
When performing a wildcard connection, these entries should be skipped,
as there is no name to match.

When elaborating a subclass, the base class scope needs to be elaborated
before the subclass scope. If the base class and subclass are defined in
different packages, this requires the package scopes to be elaborated in
the correct order. SystemVerilog reqires packages to be defined before
they are used, so that is the order we should elaborate them in.
(cherry picked from commit ba25b55f53)
Depending on the order of elaboration, a function may not have been
elaborated before a call to it is elaborated, so don't assert that it
has been. As an optimisation, try to elaborate it on the fly, so we can
elide the call if the function body is empty.
(cherry picked from commit 393236a9a8)
When module ports are collapsed, we can't tell which of the nexus drivers
are associated with a given module port and should be routed through an
associated modpath delay. Work round this by inserting a transparent
buffer or tran_vp if an output or inout port has a modpath delay. The
target code generator can elide this once it has handled the modpath
delays.
The unique, unique0, and priority keywords can decorate case statements
to tell the run time (or synthesis) to do extra tests (or make extra
assumptions). These tests are not implemented in the vvp run time, but
now the decorations make it to the code generators.
Explicit imports should always conflict with local declarations using
the same name. Wildcard imports only conflict if they are referenced
before a local declaration with the same name.
This also unifies the detection of identifier conflicts.
This implements and enforces the full set of rules for determining
timescales in SystemVerilog. The previous relaxation of the rules
that allowed timescales to be redefined within the compilation unit
scope has been removed. Time unit and precision redeclarations are
now recognised after a nested module declaration.
