[sv-ac] Mantis 3295: need a way to control only asserts/covers/assume directives

Hi Francoise,

Could you clarify what actions are required from SV-AC to address your feedback to Mantis 3295:

"I think that this kind of language enhancement should be reviewed by the BC or
EC committee. It could be complex to try to control assertion execution. This
smells like fine grain assertion control. I am wondering if process kill,
suspend and resume could be used to the same effect. Have we considered the
implementation complexity for controlling assertions?"

We already have fine grain control of assertion execution (see 20.12 Assertion control tasks), the additional control options introduced by this proposal do not introduce anything completely different, and should not be difficult to implement. What kind of feedback should we get from SV-BC and SV-EC?

Thanks,
Dmitry
