Enhancement Summary:     Records of unconstrained arrays
Related issues:          FT-15
Relevant LRM section:    

Enhancement Detail:
----------------------------
type complex is record
  a : std_logic ;
  re : signed ;
  im : signed ;
end record ;

-- constraining in declaration
signal B : complex (re(7 downto 0), im(7 downto 0)) ;

----------------------------
  type rec_w_unconstrained_array is record
    array1 : std_logic_vector ;
    array2 : std_logic_vector ;
  end record ;


  -- I don't like the syntax, but here is an idea
  signal B : rec_w_unconstrained_array (array1(depth-1 downto 0), array2(width-1 downto 0)) ;

  How would one deal with a record that contains both constrained
  and unconstrained objects?
