Hi Hillel;

>Why do you want one failure?

It seems to me there are a few cases.

1. For simulation does it make sense to return multiple failures?
    I have seen that when a user writes an incorrect property it
    will produce multiple threads that produce an incorrect match.
    When a user writes a correct property that produces multiple threads
    there are distinct events to complete each thread (either explicitly
    from the hardware by some tag, or implicitly in the hardware, by pipeline,
    that must be made distinct by satelite FSMs.)

2. For formal tools, it could make sense to return multiple failing
    sequences. These tools may be able to utilize the action block
    for the reporting elements. Maybe allowing for formal tools to
    provide multiple fails is an acceptable allowance.

Are you thinking of any specific examples other than what I have talked
about? Maybe you could share that example.

    Thanks.
