If parameterized (or template) modules are done, there's no point to
doing parameterized (or template) subroutines.

Without parameterized (or template) modules, it's not possible to
complete integration of parameterized derived types with type-bound
procedures. Parameterized (or template) subroutines do not include
definitions of related (parameterized) types.

If we had done parameterized modules in 2003, we wouldn't have done
parameterized types, or at least not parameterized by kind type
parameters, and there wouldn't be a problem with integration of types
and type-bound procedures.
