Confirming the submodule TR just in time for it to become irrelevant.

Is there any mechanism for including a statement of support by the WG or 
development body for a particular position when this voting occurs?  I 
suspect many of the 'confirm' votes were inertial.  If the argument had 
been made that the facility is included in the Fortran 2008 standard, 
and that a separate description of the facility was, at best, a 
distraction, the vote might have been different.

Added OS:  The TextEdit application that comes with the Mac OS can 
display the .rtf files.  The content of the files is certainly 
interesting, so I vote to put them up.
