[Patches, fortran] ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping and ping

[Paul Thomas]

I have built up a backlog of unreviewed patches, which are listed 
below.  I would be grateful if somebody could review them soon because I 
am sitting on further patches that I do not want to submit until those 
below are committed.

Those marked **** are short and relatively easy.

PR18022 - assignments of the kind x(:)%i = f(y(:))    ****
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2005-10/msg00271.html , which, following a 
suggestion from Richard Sandiford, has become:

PR24092 - recursive derived types - part 2  -------- Steve, did you get 
back to this?

PR20866 - recursive statement functions. ------------ This one is fun!

There is another, in the mists of time, on assumed shape and assumed 
size arrays in namelists.  I do not have time to look for it right now.
