(j3.2006) interp fodder from comp.lang.fortran

[Cohen Malcolm]

Well that does not conform to any published version of the standard.

It directly violates Fortran 90 and 95.

One can forgive not doing the runtime test apparently required by F2003, but 
failing to conform to F90/F95 (and this is not listed as an incompatibility 
in clause 1) does not seem like a good idea to me.

Cheers,

I did not say that.  At least one implementation defaults to using intrinsic
assignment for the cases that cannot be determined at compile-time.
