Here I submit for review four small extensions to the GNU Fortran
frontend for compatibility with legacy code. I figure it might be a
nice change of pace from my larger patches. Never fear, for I have
more large patches to come, which I will continue to submit
one-at-a-time.
Each extension is enabled with its own compile flag, and each are
enabled along with -fdec. They are fairly self-explanatory.
1. [-fdec-feed] Treat form feed characters as whitespace.
2. [-fdec-type-print] Treat TYPE as an alias for PRINT where applicable.
3. [-fdec-loc-rval] Allow %LOC() as an rvalue, equivalent to using the
LOC() intrinsic.
4. [-fdec-logical-xor] Enable .XOR. as a logical operator.
Feel free to comment on/question/approve each patch individually as
desired. They are attached as sequential patch files for ease of
review. Bootstraps & regtests on x86_64-redhat-
linux. OK for trunk?

I'm not in a position to approve of these patches but the .XOR. one is very
similar to one we've had in a private branch for a while so I'd be very happy to
see that in trunk.
The TYPE as PRINT problem is one we managed to fix by automatic replacement in
the source code. It's not quite as simple as sed, because replacing TYPE with
PRINT pushes some lines over 72 characters. Our tool to do this - not a
particularly polished one - is at
https://github.com/CodethinkLabs/fortrantools/blob/master/type-to-print.py in
case that's of use to anyone. No objections to your patch being added to trunk,
of course.
