No,we have not.

I understand your point.  I agree with Van that the expression

MERGE(4,8,PRESENT(X))

is a specification expression according to the Fortran 2008 standard.  I agree 
with you that it is also a constant expression according to the standard.  I 
think the error is in the definition of a constant expression, not in the 
definition of a specification expression.
