I think that's a GNU extension, though, and C and C++ differed in
syntax.  Not sure if they resolved that (let's hope so).

In verilog, isn't the :N syntax used to denote the signal's *width* ?
I.e. 0:8 would be the lower byte, 8:8 would be the upper byte, etc.
If so, using the same syntax for a different meaning might confuse
people.
