[sv-ac] RE: [sv-cc] Can let declarations use the untyped keyword

My understanding is that the use of 'untyped' allows you to have an untyped argument follow a typed argument, as stated in 16.8.1.

Untyped arguments that appear at the beginning of the argument list do not need the untyped keyword.

No, this is not intentional. The main point of let was its ability to have untyped arguments, and the clause 11.13 shows may examples. Therefore, there is no reason to disallow writing untyped explicitly. The BNF should be modified, but it is probably too late to do it now.

The BNF in P1800/D9 says that a let declaration formal argument is:

let_formal_type ::=
   data_type_or_implicit

I understand this to mean that the "untyped" keyword that was added for sequences, properties and checkers cannot be used with let declarations.  Was this intentional, or am I reading the BNF incorrectly?  If intentional, why?
