Besides the compile-time issue, I don't see why this is "clearly not right"?!
Also, I'm quite sure that this not only applies to SPREAD, but very likely to 
all other F2003 simplifiers implemented in 4.5.

As noted in the PR, I strongly believe that the linear constructor list needs 
to go more sooner than later.

That said, ok as a workaround for trunk for now - but not for 4.4 (there is no 
such simplifier for spread ;)
