(j3.2006) does move_alloc violate restrictions in 12.5.2.13?

Thanks Bob for your reply.  That is not what I have in mind unfortunately. 
 I'm a bit of tired on the discussions on this very topic, and have many 
other issues to work with.  But I'll not be surprised to see the same 
question re-surface in a few years time when more implementations 
available.  Someone might ask the same question if the following code is 
standard conforming

subroutine foo (a, b)
   ...
   call move_alloc(a,b)
end subroutine


As of right now, I doubt it is.  But let's put it aside as I don't feel 
the email correspondence is really productive.

Cheers,

Jim Xia
