This was interesting, showing the different pitfalls one may run into.

I don't think this is at all related to what I'm suggesting.  This is 
interesting information nonetheless, as I never quite made my way 
through the intrinsic resolution code.

This option addresses yet another way of being surprised by non-standard 
intrinsic.  In the case of -std=gnu it will not be at all helpful, of 
course.
