It's an oversight, to be sure...

Indeed, it does appear to be an oversight in Intel Fortran compiler, for it does support other indexer function type usage facilitated by pointer function reference in that Fortran 2008 extension.  So it was a surprise to me when the simple case in the first mail was rejected by it.  A bug report has been filed.
