What will also happen is that, at some point, we will implement the
IEEE_ Fortran intrinsic modules: loading them in user code (adding a
"use IEEE_ARITHMETIC" line in the source) acts like a C pragma,
requiring full IEEE compatibility for a given scope (usually, the
scope of the function in which this is used). Is that something that
could be done in the current framework? How hard would it be (speaking
of middle-end work) to make it possible?
