I have to say I read the previous proposals when they were proposed here on the newsgroup, but when I saw the DIP just using a new keyword "vconst" instead of "inout" it looked soooooo much more readable to me. Might just be me, but I think my brain had a hard time convincing my eyes that inout had anything to with const. --bb
