RE: [vhdl-200x-ft] RE: Problem with FT04

All,
  My preference is:

1) min & max ( IF we can solve the ambiguity problem, which we probably
can't )
2) minimum & maximum

All the others are non-standard, non-intuitive and less readable. I would
not
vote for any of the other suggestions.

Suggest: miin maax
That way a code search for the current "min" doesn't match either of these
choices.
