Isn't that what we have GFC_STD_GNU for? Or in general, non-standard
intrinsics that we provide since they provide some useful
functionality that the standard by itself doesn't provide. E.g. the
unix intrinsics, extra math functions etc.
My understanding is that GFC_STD_LEGACY essentially is "stuff we
support since it's useful for legacy code but which the current
standard we support (F95) provides in another incompatible form".
E.g. cray pointers/malloc/free vs. allocatables/pointers/(de)allocate,
and Hollerith vs. character.
Well, who knows the official definition of STD_LEGACY and STD_GNU?
