Re: [gfortran,patch] Internationalisation of the Fortran front-end

| gfortran doesn't use locus in the same sense that other front-end
| routines.

that is a bug.

| An example of error message is:
| 
|  In file a.f:1
| 
|       write(w=10)                                                       
|             1
| Error: Syntax error in WRITE statement at (1)

Maybe it is time to remind again that front-ends are encouraged to use
the common diagnostic infrastructrure, in particular the diagnostic
format specifiers and such.  For example, the above should have been 

          write(w=10)                                                       
                1
    error: syntax error in WRITE statement at (1)

with no capital.  You get that for free.

| which is caused by gfc_error("Syntax error in WRITE statement at %C").

| 
| So I guess this part is not relevant.

If you decide not to play by the rules, then you'll find yourself
often in similar situations.
