Sorry, I wasn't talking about intrinsic assignment.  I was (unsuccessfully)
trying to talk about what happens when a structure constructor expression,
like T(Sobj) is encountered.  The compiler has to generate a temporary
object of type T and define its components, and what I was trying to say
(and I might be wrong about this) is that this process of defining the
components using the expressions given to the constructor is not like
normal assignment (intrinsic or defined) of derived type objects.
The reason for raising this was that the error messages suggest that
that is how the compiler is viewing it.

Sorry for the confusion.
