    Vl-parse-sequence-match-item

    Matches sequence_match_item.

    Signature
    (vl-parse-sequence-match-item &key (tokstream 'tokstream) 
                                  (config 'config)) 
     
      → 
    (mv errmsg? value new-tokstream)
    Arguments
    config — Guard (vl-loadconfig-p config).

    After reviewing the grammar, I think sequence_match_items are essentially just a subset of expressions and can probably be best represented just as expressions. The main grammar rule is:

    sequence_match_item ::= operator_assignment
                          | inc_or_dec_expression
                          | subroutine_call

    If you dive down into this, the complexity really explodes. The details of inc_or_dec_expression and operator_assignment involve variable_lvalue terms which are really complex and which we haven't tried to entirely support yet in our expressions. Meanwhile subroutine_call can include randomize_call which leads to a huge bunch of constraint_block stuff and there are also other parts of subroutine_call like array_manipulation_call that we haven't tried to implement at all.

    But all of this stuff is also a problem in our ordinary expressions; we have

    expression ::= primary
                 | '(' operator_assignment ')'
                 | inc_or_dec_expression
                 | ...
    
    primary ::= function_subroutine_call
              | ...
    
    function_subroutine_call ::= subroutine_call

    So all of these kinds of things can directly be expressions.
