(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.3517) WG5 ballot on N1718

[Michael Ingrassia]

 A casual observer might infer that we've added lots of material
on common blocks, although I don't remember that we really have.  
The Index (Annex E) entry for common block in Fortran 2003 was

common block   *98*, 407, *427*, 471     (using * here for bold)

but in Fortran 2008 it's

common block, 4, 11, *11*, 28, 34, 86-89, 98, 99, 101, 102,
	110, 112-114, 271, 272, 435, 436, 430-442, 446,
	448-450, 455, 492, 540, 542, 543, 545

All these references seem to be real, so this is really an improvement.

I wonder if we should say so on page xiv.  Paragraph 4 could say

>It also contains the following nonnormative material, expanded and
improved:

The index is some 30% larger -- it was only 15 pages in Fortran 2003.
