Well, to tell you the truth: I'd hoped that everyone who complained
about this shortcoming had stopped using g77 ;-)
It's pretty low on my list, because:
1. Only few people run into this limitation.
2. It's a horrible piece of the Fortran Frontend to touch, let alone
repair.
3. It doesn't silently generate wrong code (which is my definition of
an urgent bug).
I'm sorry.
