I agree.

In retrospect it is a pity that 08-131 didn't have a reminder NOT to
delete those (they are mixed in with the collectives), as it was a
pretty easy mistake to make...

...but the mistake and the responsibility are certainly mine alone.
My apologies.

But does this mean we need a new document before proceeding to CD?
The missing routines are certainly convenient (and should be reinstated
in the next revision whenever that is) but they are I think not
essential to coarray programming (unlike THIS_IMAGE et al), so
it doesn't appear to be a fatal flaw.

(Producing a new document is neither cost-free nor risk-free...)

Opinions?

Cheers,
