---++ Record IO Discussion
   * Situation: Different companies both working on common interface 
      * Can we allow type matching across packages s.t. if one package defines a Bus1 record type and another also defines a Bus1 record type then they are the same if they conform to some degree. Would reqiure that the record field names are the same?
      * Would have an interesting impact on mixing numeric_std and std_logic_arith
      * Is this necessary? Interfaces between organizations should be tightly controlled and packages with record declarations can be shared through git.
      * port &lt;name&gt; of record &lt;recordtype&gt; is (
      * Peter Flake plans on taking a spin on the proposal
---++ Scope of Keywords
   * As we add language keywords to the language it becomes likely that we will collide with a name already used in a design.
   * For example, the natural keyword to use for record IO mode declarations is "mode"
   * Should we consider giving all names including keywords scope and include keywords in the outer most region such that if someone uses a new keyword as a name in their design, the local definition of the name has scope over the keyword.
   * Time for the compiler folks to chime on this :)
---++ ISAC IRs
   * Need to finish reviewing the list and catagorizing whether complete or not. Ryan
