The INTENT(IN) case seems too trivial to justify changing a spec that is 
increasingly in production use.  If you want

co_sum( <expr>, X)

just write

X = <expr>
co_sum(X)

instead.  The second form avoids the compiler having to create a temp 
for <expr>, which you would want to avoid anyway if X is an array.

Cheers,
Bill
