Description
Specparams are shown in the BNF as allowing a range on
the declaration. But unlike parameters, they do not
allow signedness or the other types. The VPI model for
specparams in 26.6.12 is different from parameters, and
does not have links for a range on the declaration.

I thought at first that the range must be an error in
the BNF. However, section 3.11.3 specifically states
that a specify parameter can have a range specification,
with rules for determining the range depending on whether
it is present.

So why aren't the other types allowed, and why doesn't
the VPI interface allow access to the range?
