Thanks Richard for your comments. They provide additional information for my initial tables.
In reviewing Richard's comments, I find that I need to clarify some of the original comments I had made. Specifically, the comments about consistency/confusion in the use of &, + and * operators between traditional VHDL meaning and the new meanings added in a PSL context. My concern with these operators are related to the potential confusion in the user's mind and not in the ability to unambiguously parse them. For the latter, I agree with Richard's comments that the parsing aspect should not be a difficult problem to solve. However, for the former, I remain concerned about the application of the same operator symbol to different contexts with the "&" operator being more problematic than "+" or "*" as the PSL meaning is not really analogous to the existing VHDL meaning.
