>Description:
Section 4.1.7 says that when a relational operator has two operands of
different sizes, then the smaller operand is zero-extended. This makes no
intuitive sense for signed operands, and it conflicts with the general rules
for determining sign given at the end of chapter 4. It also conflicts with
the behavior of Verilog-XL and NC-Verilog.
<p>Likewise, 4.1.8 says that the smaller operand to an equality operator is
zero-extended, which I also believe is wrong.
