It is with the compilers I use.

No, not then.

No, not then either.

I don't think so.  We very often require "default" kinds and it would be 
tedious to everywhere insert "or kind=c_int", etc.  Since it is very 
unlikely that these inequalities would be true for a currently relevant 
compiler, it also seems unhelpful.
