(j3.2006) Would there be a technical problem if...

[Damian Rouson]

Such a feature would be especially nice for use with type-bound operators:

type(vector_field) : u(3), v(3), w(3)
u = v .dot. w

Would there be a technical problem if it were allowed to be an array, at 
least in the case it has INTENT(IN)? 

I tried to create a generic "dump" binding that would dump a scalar, 
using a type-bound routine with a scalar passed-object dummp argument, 
and another one with a rank-one passed-object dump argument. The array 
dump just iterated over the elements and called the scalar one.
