> 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?

I don't think the loops in particular should be an issue:  assuming our
checkers-in-loops proposal ends up with the same language as our 1995
assertions-in-loops proposal, the checker will be executed for each loop
iterator value, but not really be executing in a looped procedural
manner.

The bigger challenge is probably just the fundamental issue of
covergroups in procedural code.  I'm not sure that's a show-stopper
issue though:  it's already the case that concurrent assertions appear
in procedural code, but are not 'real' procedural objects, so this may
be similar.
