RFC F2003 I/O DECIMAL= specifier

Hi all,

I am moving along on F2003 I/O features.  Currently in gfortran, we allow as an 
extension, the use of commas as a delimiter between numerical values during 
formatted READ.

Naturally, this conflicts with DECIMAL="comma" in I/O statements and we get some 
pretty interesting results.

I am proposing that if DECIMAL="comma" is explicitly given in an I/O statement 
that the use of comma as a delimiter for the associated unit is automatically 
disabled.  Otherwise, behavior will remain the same.  If DECIMAL is unspecified, 
the behavior will default to DECIMAL="point"

Seems logical to me, but I wanted to keep others in the loop.

OK?

Jerry
