(j3.2006) badly worded semantics for the IMPORT statement

[Robert Corbett]

Someone here at Sun recently asked why it made a difference whether
a variable named in an IMPORT statement was assigned a value.  He
pointed out that Section 12.3.2.1 of the Fortran 2003 standard states

      An entity that is imported in this manner and is defined
                                                       ^^^^^^^
      in the host scoping unit shall be explicitly declared
      prior to the interface body.

Perhaps it would be better to say "declared" instead of "defined."
