> Long overdue
But now changed as the current wording (seemingly as of F2008):
"For an intrinsic assignment statement where the variable is of type character,
if expr has a different kind type parameter, each character c in expr is
converted to the kind type parameterof the variable by ACHAR(IACHAR(c),
KIND(variable))"
See http://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/14/14-007r2.pdf, "7.2.1.3 Interpretation of
intrinsic assignments", paragraph 11.
We still might add a -std=f2008 check there.
