[J3] Description of MOLD in an allocate statement.

[Clune, Thomas L. (GSFC-6101)]

Perhaps my PDF search is failing me, but as far as I can tell the only description of the functionality of MOLD=​  in the standard is the following on p160 of 25-007r1:


If MOLD= appears and source-expr is a variable, its value need not be defined.

Hopefully I’m just not finding it.  Otherwise, surely we can provide just a bit of normative text describing the intent here?
