I have no problems with withdrawing a portion of the patch if
something better is cooking.

IMHO, the use of "Extension: " in gfc_notify_std() is ugly and
unneeded. In this particular case, we have GFC_STD_GNU, which
yields:
(1) -std=f95 --> "Error: assumed length ..."
(2) -pedantic --> "Warning: assumed length ..."
This should be sufficient information for a user to determine
that perhpas they are doing something that is no a Good Thing.
