Re: support array bounds checking


>	Support new -fsubscript-check and -ff2c-subscript-check options:

Sigh.  Java has -fbounds-check; Chill has -fruntime-checking (plus
range_on / range_off "pragmas);  F77 has fsubscript-check and
-ff2c-subscript-check.

Any reason why Fortran cannot use -fbounds-check?  Or should Java
switch to -fsubscript-check?  I might agree that subscript-check
is a little more descriptive - however, I'd like to point out that
I *did* ask what to call the flag over a year ago, and the consensus
(i.e. no one had a strong preference for anything else) was for
-fbounds-check.
