Thanks, Tobias. Committed as r169948.

I don't think it has been fixed, and I'm not sure if it actually would
make a difference. I'll note this as a possible to-do item in the PR.

Oops. I hadn't even noticed the typo in this test case. While the
error message is not *too* bad, it would be better to have the same
one as in:

 implicit none
 integer, target, save  :: t1
 integer, pointer :: p1
 p1 => t
end



 p1 => t
        1
Error: Symbol 't' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type


Another minor to-do item ...

Cheers,
Janus
