I don't disagree with you. For sake of argument, how bad is this patch needed at 
all? Maybe it should just go to the fortran-dev branch so that it is 
incorporated simultaneously with merge of descriptors.  The library version 
number can be bumped in fortran-dev at any time knowing that we are going to do 
so for descriptors regardless.

On the other hand,  if I go ahead and commit to trunk in a non-abi-breaking way, 
what naming convention shall we use.  I was going to suggest appending "_abi" to 
flag it.  I would also add an item to the list of ABI cleanup items on the wiki.

Is this acceptable?
