Subject: Is Modeling Load-Dependent Pins An Afterthought For Synopsys ???

John, 

Anyone, anywhere, could you please share any experience you have modeling
load-dependent cell library pins.

The 98.08 manuals devote a whopping 3 pages to this topic in what looks
like an afterthought, not a real feature.  I say this because load dependent
timing appears to be supported *only* for constraint arcs, not delay or
combinational arcs.  Why in the world would that be so?
