Ah, yes. I forgot about that distinction, but you are correct. I  
regarded it as an oddity of the TR that the complicated case  
(assignment with an allocatable component) was covered, but the  
corresponding simpler case (assignment of an allocatable without  
components being involved) was omitted. It seems so "obvious" that  
one would do the simple case first, but I forgot that we didn't. That  
is I forgot until you reminded me.
