Associative arrays that specify a wildcard index type may be indexed by
integral expressions of any size, with leading zeros removed
automatically. A natural representation for such expressions is a
string, especially that the standard explicitly specifies automatic
casts from string indices to bit vectors of equivalent size.
The automatic cast part is done implicitly by the existing type system.
A simpler way to just make this work would be to convert wildcard index
type to a string type directly in the parser code, but several new AST
classes are needed to make sure illegal method calls are detected.
The verilated data structure implementation is reused, because there is
no need for differentiating the behavior on C++ side.
