[J3] finalization and submodule

[Bader, Reinhold]

As far as I can see, the code is conforming. A type definition (with or without a finalizer) is part of the specification part of any program unit, including a submodule.

Cheers
Reinhold

Is the Fortran code or invalid?  Where are the instructions
for writing an official interpretation request?
