18-007r1, 17.10 starts with

 "For all of the procedures defined in the modules,
  the arguments shown are the names that shall be used
  for argument keywords if the keyword form is used for
  the actual arguments."

IEEE_SELECTED_RERAL_KIND is listed in Table 17.2 as
a module procedure available the from IEEE_ARITHMETIC
module.  If a Fortran processor has 2 or more INTEGER
kinds (say, INTEGER(1) and INTEGER(2)), it is impossible
to write a generic interface for IEEE_SELECTED_REAL_KIND
that can be contained within the module.  Is there a
J3 paper that discusses this issue?
