During the specs-gathering period for Fortran 2008, I proposed a
dimension specification [<lower-bound>]::1 that meant "assumed extent
but contiguous" for the first K dimensions of a rank R array.  If K==R
it would have been the same as the CONTIGUOUS attribute.  I still wish
for this in places where I have 2X2 arrays along a path on which not
every point is processed.  I don't think the R522a proposal would
conflict with this, but it bears pondering.

CONTIGUOUS?
