Thanks Malcolm.  Even though this is only a Note, I assume it carries the intent of the committee. 

This thread started internally because a user complained that we gave an error for assumed-rank arguments to C_SIZEOF, pointing out that there was no technical reason why this function should not allow C_SIZEOF.   Should we reconsider and include C_SIZEOF in the list of places where assumed-rank is allowed as an actual argument?

Cheers,
Bill
