   * This implementation is a synthesizable variant of the $clog2 function as
   * specified in the Verilog-2005 standard (IEEE 1364-2005).
   *
   * To quote the standard:
   *   The system function $clog2 shall return the ceiling of the log
   *   base 2 of the argument (the log rounded up to an integer
   *   value). The argument can be an integer or an arbitrary sized
   *   vector value. The argument shall be treated as an unsigned
   *   value, and an argument value of 0 shall produce a result of 0.

  /**
   * Math function: Number of bits needed to address |value| items.
   *
   *                  0        for value == 0
   * vbits =          1        for value == 1
   *         ceil(log2(value)) for value > 1
   *
   *
   * The primary use case for this function is the definition of registers/arrays
   * which are wide enough to contain |value| items.
   *
   * This function identical to $clog2() for all input values except the value 1;
   * it could be considered an "enhanced" $clog2() function.
   *
   *
   * Example 1:
   *   parameter Items = 1;
   *   localparam ItemsWidth = vbits(Items); // 1
   *   logic [ItemsWidth-1:0] item_register; // items_register is now [0:0]
   *
   * Example 2:
   *   parameter Items = 64;
   *   localparam ItemsWidth = vbits(Items); // 6
   *   logic [ItemsWidth-1:0] item_register; // items_register is now [5:0]
   *
   * Note: If you want to store the number "value" inside a register, you need
   * a register with size vbits(value + 1), since you also need to store
   * the number 0.
   *
   * Example 3:
   *   logic [vbits(64)-1:0]     store_64_logic_values; // width is [5:0]
   *   logic [vbits(64 + 1)-1:0] store_number_64;       // width is [6:0]
