We have a code which supports using e.g. integer*8 as the "default"  
for many variables.  Requiring the user to convert arguments to the  
default integer kind first would be annoying.  Having the compiler  
convert the arguments to the default integer kind would be fine,  
since -- likely -- the implementation of the intrinsic would do that  
anyway internally.
