RE: EXTERNAL: Re: [vhdl-200x] VHDL enhancements wish list

I would use the same record type definition, with one or more named composite modes defined for that record type (e.g. "master" & "slave").

But I'm certainly open to other ideas.

Would that require two definitions of the record, one for the initiator and one for the target, with different directions on each?
Or something which allows that to be managed independently of the record defintion?
