- The ``wiretype`` attribute is added by the verilog parser for wires of a
typedef'd type to indicate the type identifier.
- Various ``enum_{width}_{value}`` attributes are added to wires of an
enumerated type to give a map of possible enum items to their values.
- The ``enum_base_type`` attribute is added to enum items to indicate which
enum they belong to (enums -- anonymous and otherwise -- are
automatically named with an auto-incrementing counter). Note that enums
are currently not strongly typed.
- A limited subset of DPI-C functions is supported. The plugin mechanism
(see ``help plugin``) can be used to load .so files with implementations
of DPI-C routines. As a non-standard extension it is possible to specify

- typedefs are supported (including inside packages)
- type identifiers must currently be enclosed in (parentheses) when declaring
signals of that type (this is syntactically incorrect SystemVerilog)
- type casts are currently not supported
- enums are supported (including inside packages)
- but are currently not strongly typed
- SystemVerilog interfaces (SVIs) are supported. Modports for specifying whether
ports are inputs or outputs are supported.
