Little svn spelunking showed that the lines in question
and the chunk of code at the 'syntax:' label were introduced
by r129685 on 2007-10-27.  At this time, two testcases were
added as r129686, 2007-10-27, argument_checking_[7,8].f90.

It seems that checking the charlen was improved twice
r139116, 2008-08-14 and r139425, 2008-08-22 with adjustments
to argument_checking_7.f90 to account for new error messages.

So, the lines in question have been dead code since Aug 2008.
I will be reaping those lines shortly.
