SystemVerilog introduced numerous ideas new to Verilog programmers. Some of them enhanced hardware descriptions (e.g. always_ff block), some were meant to enhance verification (e.g. classes) and some were cross-over enhancements that can be used in many different contexts. SystemVerilog interface...
