For completeness: FORTRAN 77 had a similar wording at
http://www.fortran.com/fortran/F77_std/rjcnf-13.html#sh-13.5.9
http://www.fortran.com/fortran/F77_std/rjcnf-13.html#sh-13.5.9.2.3
Bill is not convinced about Malcolm's answer:
http://j3-fortran.org/pipermail/j3/2011-August/004606.html
If I read it correctly, Bill thinks that one can read the standard such that
"** " is correct, but thinks that the standard is ambiguous and also allows
"******" which - according to his count - most compilers do and a user would
expect.
I think we will have at the end an interpretation request - thus, one might
leave this item open until after the J3 meeting or better after the balloting
of the J3 meeting edits. The next meeting is October 10-14, 2011.
