Surely we want it to be elemental since SOURCE may be any array. Note 
that SUM, MAX, MIN are elemental. How about adding this as an exception 
on C1234:


C1234 (R1223) A nonintrinsic elemental procedure shall not be used as an 
actual argument except in an invocation of the intrinsic subroutine 
CO_REDUCE.
