(j3.2006) Future deprecation of overriding character length, dimension and codimension

[Bill Long]

Normally making an existing part of the standard Obsolescent would be part of the feature list agreed by WG5 for the next revision of the standard.  Once WG5 has decided a feature  list for the next revision, the work to implement it (ie write the paper with edits) is assigned to J3.  Such a change would be much too late for F2015, but certainly open to consideration for the next revision. 

Cheers,
Bill
