Hi Achim.

Verilog-A/MS allows automatic insertion of connectmodules,
by declaring connectrules blocks. So it is possible to
avoid explicit instantiation of them under many conditions.

The problem would become significant for designs
which included instances wired to different
supply voltage levels, I think. Level-shifters, etc.

If a connectrules (or similar) block could be declared
inside of a module, most of the problem would be solved
without new resolution protocols.
