(j3.2006) Asymmetry of REAL, CMPLX intrinsics

Yes, there's too much to do already.  Breaking the backward-compatibility 
is always a bad thing to vendors, not to mention the proposed change 
brings no new functionality to these two intrinsics.  Use KIND argument in 
cmplx to solve Van's problem.  I'll be happy to remove the radix feature 
in selected_real_kind, which is really not done right :-)

Cheers,

Jim Xia
