Looking back at the draft F95 standard that I have I am amazed. As you stated
in your note the standard calls for no quotes on namelist write if no DELIM= has
been specified. And yet, right after that, there is a note stating that the
result of such a namelist write may not be correctly readable.
That was a few years ago when we discussed this issue. IIRC the consensus was
to make what is written as readable for default behavior. I think what we do
now is the reasonable approach
For this patch I chose to stay consistent with what we currently do. I can
change it to standard conforming. Anyone else have any comments on this?
