No. Nor is there directly an f2003 one. I pushed a little to get one 
added at the last minute, but it was too late and didn't "fly". There's 
an active proposal for the next standard after f2003 (though I 
personally feel that it is hampered by the main proponent adding too 
many complications, such as an asynchronous option, and then not 
working out the complications very well - seems to me like a good way 
to kill the thing).

In f2003 one can at least get at the C version in a standard way 
through C interop, so the capability is indirectly there, even though 
it isn't directly in the Fortran standard (and is not something that 
the Fortran compiler would specifically know about).
