ivl_scope_type() will return an enumeration of scope types, module,
task, function, block, etc. For modules the ivl_scope_tname returns
the module name, which is different from the instance name.

They are a little different from EDIF LPMs, although inspired by
the EDIF LPMs. They are a subset. You're kinda going to have to
poke around to get the details of all the pins of lpms. The ivl_lpm_*
functions have very terse notes on applicability.
