Paul,
<p>A regular parameter may be redefined by a defparam statement.
<br>A localparam may not.

As far
<br>as I can tell, a parameter in a function or task is equivalent to a
<br>localparam in a function or task. Is there any difference that
you know of?
<p>I'm asking because it will simplify some implementation details if I
treat
<br>localparams and parameters in a function or task identically.
<p>I'm aware that localparams and parameters are distict at the module
level.
