[Patch, fortran] PR69423 - [6 Regression] Invalid optimization with deferred-length character

[Paul Richard Thomas]

Dear Mikael,

Thanks for reminding me of that way of discriminating between the
types. I did look at it briefly, back at the start of the OOP project,
but got lost in trying to fold it into the SELECT CASE scheme, which
was hijacked for SELECT TYPE. Also, I will have to check that the vtab
pointers really do have unique values for each type. I'll take a look
at it.

Thanks

Paul
