BIND(UPC) is currently just a request, not implemented (at least by 
Cray).  I agree that, if the standard expands to a BIND for anything 
other than (C),  we will need to look at the instances of BIND in the 
standard and decide which ones need to be replaced by BIND(C) because 
they are C-specific.   However, the place to do that is in the context 
of adding that feature to the base standard.  I prefer to not make the 
above in the TS, since it appears to be making a change in the base 
standard that is unrelated to the topic of the larger edit.

Cheers,
Bill
