Line and clause numbers if any are with regard to STIL.4 syntax document D01 dated April 22, 2015.

================================================================================
CONSENSUS:

  - Add Chip Signals & SignalGroups to Fig 41 (validates SVN experiment usage by
    EJW).

  - Subversion: everyone can now edit the syntax document. EJW maintains an
    official version containing committee approved text.

  - Syntax document will explicitly state: there's no semantic difference
    between single-quoted and unquoted expressions.

  - Reaffirmed function eval's utility as a user's only way to force evaluation
    of an expression.

  - Operator = associates an expression with a variable name. That expression
    shall be evaluated either under user control (via function eval) or under
    system control when a literal value is required. Semantics are the same
    regardless of context, e.g., initialization or assignment, whether RHS is a
    single-quoted or unquoted expression.

  - The syntax document will explicitly state that STIL.4 specifies no implicit
    initialization behavior for the STIL.0 Meas field. The Meas field can only
    be set via operator =. SEE NOTE 1.

  - Consistent with STIL.4 variable semantics, a user may associate either a
    literal value or an expression with a STIL.0 Meas field using operator =.

NOTE 1: EJW pro vote is tentative because this is counter to the STIL.4 PAR
maintainability mandate, instead favoring existing software not based on STIL.4.
It is unnecessarily complex and requires user vigilance due to artificially
introduced inter-test dependency, neither of which would be present were the
Meas field in line with STIL.4 variable initialization, i.e., on START by
default. EJW would like the review of the revised Appendix G.2.1 "Speed Binning
With Scalable Timing" to be part of the discussion on this topic.
================================================================================
ACTION ITEMS:

  - EJW: add footnote to Table 8 "Common Parameter/Variable Attributes" noting
    Meas field initialization exception

  - EJW: rewrite appendix G.2.1 "Speed Binning With Scalable Timing" taking into
    account consensus above.

  - ???: get remainder of document in line with consensus items above, i.e.:
    STIL.4 specifies no initialization behavior for the STIL.0 spec variable
    Meas field which can be assigned only via operator =.
