Proposal 13 in 13-244r1 deals with conditional expressions. The second
functionality is a form that allows to compute whether an actual
argument is present. This should be extended to specifiers in I/O
statements, ALLOCATE, DEALLOCATE, LOCK, .... The easiest way to do so
is to change the nomenclature for those specifiers from "appear" to
"present". This would have the additional salubrious effect of allowing
optional arguments to specify their values.
Proposal 17 deals with allowing a rank-1 extent-R explicit-shape array
with constant bounds to specify the bounds of a rank-R array in a
specification statement. This should be extended to include the bounds
in an ALLOCATE statement.
