Hi,

I was leaning towards getting auto named ends functionality just like the auto endcomments functionality that we have right now.

Initially my thought was to add a defvar which would use ":" instead of "//" when auto inserting the named ends (instead of named comments).

That too would only happen for these endings (as per IEEE SystemVerilog Standard 1800-2012, Section 9.3.4, pg 178):

— endchecker (see 17.2)
— endclass (see 8.3)
— endclocking (see 14.3)
— endconfig (see 33.4)
— endfunction (see 13.4)
— endgroup (see 19.2)
— endinterface (see 25.3)
— endmodule (see 23.2.1)
— endpackage (see 26.2)
— endprimitive (see 29.3)
— endprogram (see 24.3)
— endproperty (see 16.2)
— endsequence (see 16.8)
— endtask (see 13.3)

But looking at "this line":

Before I try to get a solution to auto named ends (only for the above types of endings), I was like to know the reason for that specific @(unless ..)@ condition.

The reason I am looking into this is because I see a growing convention of using named ends instead of comments at the ends. Named ends can help catch a copy/paste mistake if the user had mismatch between the block name and end name.

Thanks.
