[comp.lang.vhdl] multiple process bodies ?

Hello,

a question which may also be interesting the VASG:
Doing some implementations with VHDL, I found it very useful to have the
concept of differing architectures for one entity available - not only for
differing design levels, but also to hide differing algorithms on the same
abstraction level. Now, what about package bodies? They are separated nicely,
but I'd prefer to have multiple (named) implementations of package bodies.

One possible concept would be, to have several named package bodies for one
package available and a configuration for each use clause. Are there any
plans/ideas for the reballoting 1992?

Possibly I simply did not get the philosophy of VHDL here and this makes no
sense? But I think in practice it could be useful - especially if we use
VHDL not only to model our design, but also for some (mechanical...)
environment. 

tom.
