Re: Dual port ram, mixed width byte enables.

Josy,

I am not 100% sure that it is limited to only multidim, I haven't
researched this but I thought you could build mix port by using
a model of the BRAM prims (1bit width) and build them from
the simple model.  More of an elaboration / generate approach.

If that doesn't work than the user code [1] would be the quickest
alternative (as we both stated).

I think the Array will take some discussion etc. before it worked
in to the base.  It is a fairly important feature and I am sure there
will be significant feedback from the core devs.  It needs a clean
MEP etc. for discussion and review.  I don't think it is something
that can be used in the near-term.

Regards,
Chris
