Re: [vhdl-200x-ft] Implicitly referencing std.textio and library IEEE

Hi Jim.

I recommend against it: It just saves typing
(or cut-and-paste) of a couple of lines of
text, and it creates difficulties for someone
wanting to use the VHDL language in some reasonable
but nonstandard way.

I'd rather see VHDL 200x simplified than made more
complicated.
