Fair enough.  I suppose the use for -fno-d-comments would be if 
something like -std=legacy (is that what it's called?) were specified, 
and it included -fd-comments, and one didn't want it to but wanted the 
rest of the -std=legacy options.  Or something like that -- I only 
included them because I had the impression that gfortran had similar 
"turn it back off" options for other things like this.

In any case, I agree with you and Richard that this should only be on by 
default in -std=legacy, if that.  (It may be worth having it on in 
-std=legacy, given that that option really seems to mean "accept 
anything that we can accept".)
