This edit was not incorporated.  According to the draft C1x standard
(n1547 3.1p1 -- "access" was not a defined term in (draft) C9x, at least
not in n869) "access" means "<execution-time action> to read or modify
the value of an object."  NOTE 1 to that definition says "Where only one
of these two actions is meant, ??read?? or ??modify?? is used".  So
"accessed" is wrong.  In the Fortran standard, we'd write "referenced."
In C-speak, the (draft) C standard (n1847) says "read" is correct.  As
it stands, the list item prevents modifying the object before a value is
given to it.  Hmmm.

Not done.  If not "C address of the object" or "C base address of the
object", perhaps "C address of the base of the object", or something
else to make it clear that "base address" is a C address.

Not done.  Does the lower_bound member specify C or Fortran subscripts?
There is a significant difference!

In other places (I don't remember where) the arrays are allowed to be
larger than the rank.  Why not here?

Not done.  None of the listed functions are both intrinsic functions and
intrinsic module functions.

Not done.
