Re: [Patch/fortran] Add documentation section about implemented F2003 features


Rereading my own post, one unclear referent and one possibly confusing typo.

allocatables are a good thing

Agree. Again, I've never known a single person who thought otherwise. That includes the people who wrote it.
It was more of an oversight and failure to come up with a good alternative. I don't think they thought this was actively a good idea as much as that they didn't have a good idea at the time (but later found one).

By "it" above, I meant the f90 stuff; that's what was an oversight..



 and that F90 allocatables should not be
supported,

See above. You already do support "f90 allocatables". There is no such thing as an f90 allocatable that isn't also an f90 allocatable.

Make that "There is no such thing as an f95 allocatable that isn't also an f90 allocatable."
