Meeting Discussion:
------------------------------------------
Reviewed FT07.  Not done.  Still has the following issues:
1)  Value for force and get_value need to be cleaned up
2)  Align terminology and definitions with VHPI
3)  Decide whether Probe and Drive need a delta cycle.
    Vendors seem to support delta cycle (cyclic problems).
      signal A, B, C : std_logic ;
       . . .
       probe("A", "C") ; -- Interesting if sees the value of C immediately
       B <= A ;
       C <= B ;
    Some users prefer no delta cycle (attaching to clocks & seeing 'event at the right time).
      It is possible that the relevant clock is an internally generated clock.
4)  Does force need a parameter for delta_event (from Analysis #1)?
    Relevant text from Analysis #1:
      -- Note:  A 0 time delay results in the forced value applying immediately but does
      --        not activate processes (no event is created) unless delta_event is true.
      --        delta_event is ignored unless force_delay is 0.

5)  return value from get_value needs to be (1 to length)
6)  Implicitly define force and get_value for every type?
    Hence get type safety and not require converting everything
    to string.
7)  How does multiple Drive w/ freeze from separate processes work?
    Is it allowed or not?
8)  Long term would like path names to go through VHDL & Verilog
    boundries.   Nice to have, but is this necessary now?
