Description
Some unclearness with respect to $strobe and $monitor:

5.3 says, "The $monitor and $strobe system tasks create monitor events
for their arguments. These events are continuously re-enabled in every
successive time step."

1. The term "time step" is not defined.

2. This says that $strobe creates monitor events and these events are
continuously re-enabled. But $strobe is a one-shot display task.

3. 17.1.2 does not clarify whether $strobe is blocking or nonblocking.

4. 17.1.3 says about $monitor that "the entire argument list is displayed
at the end of the time step as if reported by the $display task." That
could be misinterpreted to mean that $display executes at the end of the
time step, so it should probably be changed to $strobe.
