Note that users of clocking blocks already expect to
be able to detect change events on an input clockvar.
This is very, very similar to the detection of events
on $past() or $sampled().

I have not been following this discussion as closely
as I should, and I don't have much expertise to 
contribute to sv-ac, but I would urge you all to 
share this issue with sv-ec and sv-bc.  I accept that
it raises some tricky problems, but I think users will
be mightily confused to find they can't detect 
changes on the result of $sampled() or $past(), where
the user was expecting to get a deglitched and possibly
delayed version of a signal and wanted to use changes
on that conditioned signal to trigger downstream 
activity.
