I am all for simple software an libraries, but I would say that this
addition would hardly make MyHDL more complex. Everything could stay
the same. After all it would just be a matter of doing:

process = always
process_comb = always_comb

In the MyHDL package, right after the corresponding decorator definitions.
People could continue to code in the exact same way, but we would have
a choice to use the Verilog-style or the VHDL-style decorators. A
simple mention once in the manual would probably be enough.

Cheers,
