What are the reasons/motivation for this change?
Supersedes #4842: There are currently too many cases that don't respect this invariant, so defer the enforcement for now.
Explain how this is achieved.
For the next release, just fix the cases already identified. In the case of an object with a private name and an
hdlname
attribute, allowparse_hdlname()
/parse_scopename()
to act as if it was a corresponding scopename attribute (ignoring the final entry). The behaviour should be unchanged for other cases.If applicable, please suggest to reviewers how they can test the change.
