[Bug fortran/36251] New: PUBLIC and PRIVATE abuse

["kargl at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

gfortran compiles the following
module a
  implicit none
  integer :: i = 42
end module a

module b
  use a
  implicit none
  private
  public a       ! <-- Is this legal?  Can change to private, too.
end module b

program c
  use b
  implicit none
end program c

Lahey's syntax checker gives

Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran 95 Source Check Output
