Erik is the one who is doing most of the work!  I am just acting as 
publicist....  MOVE_ALLOC is on my list as part of this work.  We have 
an immense amount to do to get the fundamentals right, though.  When we 
get the automatic nulling, on procedure entry, and automatic 
deallocation, on departure or temporary passing, working and are 
convinced that there are no memory leaks, then we have to make sure that 
operator overloading works, so that equalities, for example, work 
correctly, and to get structure constructors operational.   Then there 
are the constraints (eg. structures with allocatable components not 
being allowed in equivalences) and.... finally, the likes of 
MOVE_ALLOC.  Patience, it will come!

Thank Erik in particular.
