It seems a natural request then to allow a procedure to be declared BIND(F, name=”…”)   The procedure could then even live inside of a module (amusingly allowing the module to have no PUBLIC entities).

Is this unworkable for reasons that I don’t understand?   Low priority?    Or maybe a very small feature that could be put into 202y?
Every compiler I have used has syntax (usually a directive) to specify the global name of a procedure - ALIAS is often the keyword. It does sound like a small but useful feature that could be proposed for 202Y. One might quibble with the syntax suggested, but the basic idea is sound.

Why not post this at https://github.com/j3-fortran/fortran_proposals<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fj3-fortran%2Ffortran_proposals&data=05%7C01%7Cthomas.l.clune%40nasa.gov%7Ca7ade3536085428d477e08da55610758%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C637916172477385484%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=DAUoOZtoUbbXhHW1Nqi5lu3UKcOOi4fzHHLVOQoHeuU%3D&reserved=0> (if it's not already there)?
