[Bug fortran/33189] New: read(blah, fmt=*) is accepted, but read(blah, '*') not.

["toon at moene dot indiv dot nluug dot nl" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The following, IMNSHO, is valid Fortran 95:

      CHARACTER*10 a
      a = '15'
      READ(a, '*') i
      PRINT*,i
      END

Unfortunately, it draws:

ugh.f:3.72:

      READ(a, '*') i                                                    
                                                                       1
Error: Missing leading left parenthesis in format string at (1)

If I change '*' to fmt=* the code is accepted.
