Ian Harvey posted the following program to
comp.lang.fortran.

    DIMENSION c(2)
    PARAMETER(i=SIZE(c))
    INTEGER c
    END

He said none of the compilers he tried would compile
the program, but that he failed to find s rule in
the Fortran standard that it violated.  He pointed
out that the definition of a constant expression does
not include the restriction regarding agreement of
implicit and explicit types that is given for
specification expressions.
