(j3.2006) restricted pointers?

[Bill Long]

Hi,

It has been pointed out that several compilers have command line 
switches to tell the compiler that, in any given scope, there is no 
aliasing of pointers.  Sort of like "restrict" in C.   Has some 
attribute, along the lines of CONTIGUOUS, ever been proposed for this? 
Note that I am NOT suggesting this as a F2015 feature - I'm just looking 
for J3 history on the topic.

Cheers,
Bill
