Sure you can get coarrays of different dynamic types on different images
using the syntax like the following

ALLOCATE (coarray[*], source=expr(image_number()))

where expr() is a function that return polymorphic allocatables whose
dynamic types dependent on image index number.  I don't see anything in the
standard preventing this.  But since we disabled the usage of polymorphic
coindexed objects, I don't see any problems of this.  Did I miss something
here?
