---++ Meeting Discussion
   * Conditional Compilation
      * Peter wrote an initial proposal
      * Logic operations and Equality, inequality
      * Vendor = name vs. vendor_name defined?
      * Use strings. Checking for an unset variable is vendor = ""
      * Need to define a set of variables that vendors are to use:
         * ToolType {"synthesis", "simulator", "equivalencechecker", "formal"}
         * ToolName match vendor case
         * VendorName
         * ToolVersion
         * VHDLVersion
         * OptimizationLevel - low level optimization is equivalent to debug mode
         * language predefined strings should be defined to be either all lower case or all upper case
         * String comparisons will be case sensitive, just like the language
      * What does Verilog do? Perhaps we should copy that or do a subset?
         * Peter not willing to work on a Verilog-like one.
         * Includes macros and include files but not boolean operators
         * Concluded that Verilog one is more complicated than we want
   * Rob LCS on Optional semicolons. Also includes optional commas.
   * Voting on LCS
      * In LCS add vote section
      * Voting:
         * vote: Yes, No, Abstain
         * record date of the vote
         * record version number/date of LCS (from top of LCS)
      * With no votes, it is helpful to provide a rationale. Is it the whole LCS or just parts?
      * Split controversial pieces out as separate LCS.
      * Issues: Record issues in comments section
      * Vote now while in flux or wait until it is done?
      * If major updates, then notify people it has changed.
