Hi everyone,

I was just reading through Peter Ashenden's analysis of the VHDL2008 IR 2119:

    http://www.eda-twiki.org/isac/IRs-VHDL-2002/IR2119.txt

and was surprised that to see that there wasn't more support for this.

I know it caught me out in the same way as the proposer described and at around 
the same time. Maybe users hadn't gotten around to using shared variables 
because of the (perceived) hassle of declaring protected types and thus the lack 
of support for this proposal. I know a lot of users that I come across still 
find them (protected types) a bit 'mind bending' at first.

It's something that hassles me in my verification jobs a lot and so I thought 
that I'd resurrect the issue again, so comments please:

Thanks in advance.
