[sv-ac] Initial proposal uploaded for 2088

Hello Everyone,

I have uploaded the first cut of a proposal for Mantis 2088:  "Allow checker
construct to include covergroups"

The proposal is pretty simplistic at this point (only three pages), and I'm
probably missing some details at this point:  Here are the things I have
thought about:

1.  I assume that somewhere a VPI diagram will need to be modified.  But
looking at the VPI diagram for a module, I didn't see an explicit box for a
covergroup.

2.  Currently covergroups are not allowed within procedural blocks, while
properties, sequences, and assertions are.  In addition, Erik is working on
1995 to allow assertions within procedural loops.  Given that checkers would
be allowed within procedural blocks and loops as well, will this cause
problems for covergroups in a checker, which is instantiated in a procedural loop?

3.  There should be no changes required to Annex F, correct?

Thanks for taking a look!

Tom
