The I/O library isn't in terribly good shape. There are some
quite basic things that it doesn't get right, and new things
are still being discovered about it. For example, end-of-record
handling is basically broken for formatted input.
It's probably worth going through the PRs to extract the test
cases, and also to go through the f95 standard to generate
new ones. With a fairly exhaustive testing framework in
place, I would feel better about making modifications.
